Kendo UI vs RefluxJS: What are the differences?
What is Kendo UI? Fast, light, complete: 70+ jQuery-based UI widgets in one powerful toolset. Fast, light, complete: 70+ jQuery-based UI widgets in one powerful toolset. AngularJS integration, Bootstrap support, mobile controls, offline data solution.
What is RefluxJS? A simple library for uni-directional dataflow application architecture inspired by ReactJS Flux. The goal of the refluxjs project is to get this architecture easily up and running in your web application, both client-side or server-side.
Kendo UI and RefluxJS belong to "Javascript UI Libraries" category of the tech stack.
"Collection of controls" is the primary reason why developers consider Kendo UI over the competitors, whereas "Easy to understand" was stated as the key factor in picking RefluxJS.
Kendo UI and RefluxJS are both open source tools. It seems that RefluxJS with 5.43K GitHub stars and 352 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Kendo UI with 2.16K GitHub stars and 1.73K GitHub forks.
Full disclosure; I worked for both Telerik and Infragistics in Developer Relations for these projects. From my point of view, neither is a clear "winner" in this space. Kendo has some nice features and Ignite doesn't have and vice versa. We ended up picking Kendo because we needed to settle on one of these, and most of our clients already owned Kendo because it came with some other Telerik product. That's it. It could have very easily gone the other way, but Telerik kinda won the ground war here, so...
Having said that, the only tool we really use is the grid (the rest of them are no better than Flowbite/HTML5/etc. controls. And even then, we really need to be leveraging the advanced functionality of the grid before telling the client they'll have to buy a support license.
