Can someone suggest a good UI framework for WinForms development? What I'm looking for is something that is fairly mature (=bug-free), renders well and quickly, and does not bloat my program with 10Mb assemblies.
A:
I use developer express. IMHO cleaner more rational API than infragistics, fewer bugs with visual studio and help integration. I never look at the size of assemblies.. it's not a really useful metric for me in .net installs. Just to install hello world you are looking at massive downloads and long .net framework installs.

Unfortunately, after working with DevEx for 2 years, I decided it's not for me - this is the reason I'm asking the question.

Me and my team all use Telerik. The result is a stunningly good looking GUI, the controls are very mature and easy to use.
I've purchased the developer express report control and it does not scale well at all. It maxes out the CPU on our webservers when producing a report with 10k+ rows on it. So I can't recommend developer express.
