I use a lot of very cool UI controls found in the Telerik UI UP control suite; our customers love these controls:
- RichText for HTML 5 presentation of email messages
- ScheduleView
- Diagrams - we use drawings for BP, WF and Data flows
- Docking - super popular
- Syntax Editor
- CardView
- SpreedSheet
- Expression Parser
- Expression Editor
- Layout control
- Expander
- Desktop Alert
- Transition Control
- TimeBar
- Wizard
- Window
- SplashSceeen
- Callout
- Drag and Drop Interactions
- Calendar
- Persistence Framework
- more..
You guys already know these capabilities don't exist as polished UI controls WinUI 3; we can't adapt and migrate to WinUI 3 / MAUI and lose these excellent presentation and interaction models. What other types of data and information would help your team to prioritize the development of these controls for WinUI 3. I know we can use some WinUI 3 UI control in our WPF apps, but going the other way is impossible.

Like many other technology companies out there in the wild, we aren't a UI Control development company as core skills focus on other technologies; however, we need the absolute very best 3rd part commercial grade and hi-fidelity UI controls to start with a base. So for us, I'm not going to invest in a UI framework that turns the company into a Telerik - that's not what we do. Yes, we do develop custom controls, but it is the exception.
