I switched from material design (react-toolbox) to semantic ui around a year or two ago for similar reasons. Material design looks great by default but it infects the rest of your app really quickly since any custom components you build have to match it in visual style or it'll look really out of place. This was pretty hard for a small project without a designer. Semantic basically looks like bootstrap without being bootstrap and is much easier to work with.
