The grid comparison of features vs the core jQuery UI module doesn't seem right. Of course a behemoth framework will win out on a feature comparison against one module of a modular framework.

I can't get past the problem of Kendo only properly supporting webkit. EDIT: Should have clarified I'm referring to mobile.

Older versions of Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari are supported. Can you elaborate on the phrase, "only properly supporting WebKit"?

EDIT: Got it. Yes, you're correct; currently, Kendo UI Mobile provides UI widgets that match the theming and functionality of native controls available for iOS and Android.

That's a fair comment, which is why I made a point of highlighting available plug-ins like Template, Globalize, and others.

library looks really nice! You guys should consider supporting mustache.js as a template engine - the advantage is it's compatible with other languages, we're using mustache for java, objc, javascript mobile, and javascript web.... oh and a bit of ruby mustache too!

EDIT: disclaimer i have a mustache

this looks really good. really well thought out. congrats. We are in the process of choosing a mobile JS library for our framework. We were going to go with JQuery Mobile but I am impressed with Kendo. You might get a call from us in the next months. You never know...:-)

Thanks! I'll share this feedback with the team. FWIW, we work very hard to "play well with others". For example, there's an example of Kendo UI integration with Knockout here:

There's also an example of Kendo UI integration with jQuery templates here:

EDIT: I do not have a mustache but I do like mustache.js.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm happy to assist. In the meanwhile, there's a healthy number of threads happening on our forums:

Lots of Q&A's worth checking out.

Kendo UI Mobile is currently in Beta but I would encourage you to check it out and send us your feedback:

I think it's a bit misleading. jQueryMobile is an official part of jQuery as is jQuery UI, and validation while considered a plugin is ostensibly "official" as the author is a jQueryUI core committer. So while Kendo might be operating under one GPL licensed roof, in the end if you consider all "Official" jQuery projects as one project, they offer a lot more and a MIT license! I know you mentioned those projects as "See etc." but in my mind at least, it's just a question of marketing semantics of what should be considered one project.
