Works seamlessly with Angular, React, Vue, and others through dedicated wrappers, as shown in the 'Specific frameworks' section, reducing integration overhead.
Includes native touch event handling out of the box for drag-and-drop on mobile devices, eliminating the need for external libraries like jQuery UI touch punch.
Since v1, the library has no external dependencies like jQuery or lodash, making it lightweight and easier to bundle, as stated in the 'Requirements' section.
Allows custom extensions to the library and engine, enabling developers to override methods or create custom layouts, detailed in 'Extend Library' and 'Extend Engine'.
The README includes extensive migration guides from v0.6 to v12, indicating that updates often require significant code adjustments, which can disrupt ongoing projects.
IE support was dropped, restored, and dropped again across versions (e.g., v2, v4.4, v12), showing inconsistency and making it unreliable for older environments.
For non-default column counts (e.g., beyond 12), developers must generate custom CSS manually or use extra files, adding setup complexity as explained in 'Change grid columns'.
