1.React is shit (14k lines on package.json with MUI), Makes your website a hella heavier
2. You can use an alternative (MaterializeCSS ...) -
leanrob35636y@moghir2004 Just want to clarify.
Is this a knock on React in general? Or is a knock on the materialUI React package?
I’m certainly leaning toward just using a material CSS (SASS on our side).
React however, is the devil we are going to be dancing with in this situation. I’m pretty ok with it. -
makarand5976yMaterial Ui is pretty heavy library every component you import adds up to it. I would advise you to use it wisely.
MaterializeCSS is pretty great CSS only alternative. -
Both. Look MUI is fine but a fucking hello world on react is 100MB what will you expect
-
Lyniven44546yBut be careful with materializeCSS, i got issue with dynamics forms, particulary with select.. for the rest it does the job well.
@makarand it's not css only, a js file and jquery are needed i think -
makarand5976yYeah for some special items like date picker or model. For everything else its css only.

MaterialUI? Is it shit?
A brand new code base. Old codebase (old employees) used MaterialUI, locking in a lot of the styling and layout in their grids.
I'm trying to identify the pros/cons that can come from experience using the framework.
Some questions to spark discussion:
Anyone used this in production for a period of time?
Did it hold up? Did the designers hate it?
How was mixing this with SASS etc.
Cheers
