My organization is actually moving away from Telerik after ten years of use.

My biggest complaint is how unresponsive they are to fixing bugs. After reported it may be months or a year before you see it fixed.

What I dont know is if that is common in that "ui component" sector?

I think this is why almost nobody uses closed-source libraries. Having to pay isn't the biggest problem: it's not being able to fix issues like these yourself.

This 100%. Earlier in my career I managed a bunch of VB developers and we used a number of commercial UI components. Without exception they were a nightmare to deal with.
