Hello,
I am sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with the design of RadDataFilter control.
Due to the fact that the different Telerik products have their own specifics, their implementation and design differ in order to deliver as better user experience as possible. The same components could not have exactly the same look and feel for different products. Our designers always strive to reach the most intuitive and outstanding UI according to the product, platform, and its opportunities.
RadDataFilter can be used not only for building complex filter expressions, but it can also be used as a standalone RadDataFilter Dialog in order to provide the user an easy way to build an expression without the necessity to have a RadDataFilter on the form. You can customize it by creating custom editors according your specific need or use complex filter expressions. If you provide more information about what is your final goal we would be able to suggest an accurate solution.
Since our customer's feedback is very important to us, It would be greatly appreciated if you can specify what are your exact suggestions for improvement of RadDataFilter. Thus, we will be able to consider them in the future improvements of the control.
I am looking forward to your reply.

Hello Ian,
I would like to note that Telerik UI for Winforms and Telerik UI for WPF offers RadDataFilter control that allows building complex filter expressions based on the data and collection type of the source fields. Please take a look at the following documentations:
You can check our Demo application >> DataFilter examples as well.
Could you please check this and let me know if RadDataFilter control is suitable for reaching your goal?
I am looking forward to your reply.
