Hi OriginalGriff, I have added the links after posting the comment, wanted to make sure it is not a problem whatsoever, but it looks like it is. Feel free to remove it. My goal was to join the conversation and provide value, it wasn't a sales pitch, I was just pointing out the differences. Besides I was fully disclosing that I was affiliated with one of the products mentioned earlier.

The proliferation of Web UI ToolkitsHi Marc, Thanks for sharing! There a lot of tools out there and a lot of developers we come across looking for advice on what to use and when to use it. I always say it depends. Btw, full disclosure: I am Levi from [Mobiscroll](https://mobiscroll.com) and I am not here to sell you anything My first question is, if you are happy with jQWidgets why are you looking for something else? I would advise against looking for just the sake of looking. We're developers and we all like to play with the new shiny stuff, but we rarely find game changers and let's face it, nobody will suddenly move to a new framework in a real-world application just because it's new. So trying things is good, but switching over from something that fits the current needs doesn't make sense. Secondly there a lot of tools because there are a lot of developers who are building on top of existing technologies and new ones that are constantly coming out. We've been around since 2011, and our take on this is shipping tools that actually provide value to people by helping them deliver refined and great experiences. Our products work as stand-alone components, like the [Date & Time](https://mobiscroll.com/mobile-date-and-time-picker) or [Calendar](https://mobiscroll.com/responsive-calendar), so you don't have to switch from framework X just to make date picking better. That doesn't mean we don't have to keep up with Angular 2, React, Ember ... and everything new that comes out. At the beginning we were only supporting jQuery, now we support plain Javascript, Angular, React, Knockout ... because we don't want you to switch from one technology to another just because it's a more recent release. Also, we do want you to use what you know. Keep focusing on what's important, tools are just tools, at the end of the day they should help you be better at what you do
