VERDICT

Should I use AntBlazor?

Out-of-the-box mid-stage front/design solution! - antblazor.com

Worth it. Blazor teams that want Ant Design's enterprise admin UI should use it — it is free, comprehensive, and well-regarded. Skip it if you are not building .NET/Blazor apps or need a paid vendor with support SLAs.
