From memory, the only thing that was 'free' was their eBooks.

And the Metro style icons. I've downloaded the icon studio a while ago.

Lets just hope other control developers follow along also.  Myself I am hoping for a DevExpress Community Edition.  I downloaded a free trial awhile back and really liked it.

Yes, I also have the metro studio and it was indeed free.

I used SyncFusion in a previous job and while the objects were cool, many of them lacked some basic functionality. I was required to develop considerable workarounds which made developing with them much more difficult.

After languishing in development for a while, we moved to Telerik and while it was better, it still didn't meet our needs.\

Maybe I expected too much, maybe not .. either way, I am glad I am not using them anymore!
