In addition to the extremely good performance, which already ensures that the system can be scaled well, clustering of the system is already provided for in the software architecture.

Cons
Con Commercial license
It's not free for commercial applications.
Con Not very popular
Not really a reason to not recommend it. But it has still a small user base. It deserves a lot more attention.
Con Not modular
The library is not modular (except for some additional more complex widgets). If you only need a few widgets, you still need to include the entire library.
