voted for KendoUI DataViz (Like) Love their responsive support. This list is a little out of data as they match ShieldUI (bit of a clone of telerik). KendoUI was not developed from scratch post AngularJS. Kendo works well with Angular, but some will object to it not being the angular way. That's why we have Angular-UI huh.
