Sometimes I wonder why Open UI5 [1] is so little known within the front-end community. I mean, in a world where long term support for frameworks is rare, having a component library backed by a large company like SAP should be quite valuable.

- runako 7y agoGood gracious, you have to install a toolchain specific to the UI framework to see the sample app? I know I'm curmudgeonly about front-end toolchain bloat, but doesn't this seem excessive?
- hello_moto 7y ago1. is heavy (size) 2. is huge (libs) 3. was made by SAP for custom HANA apps with "normalized" widgets and skins, originally known as SAP UI5 4. MVC, Single-App, two-way data-binding, tutorials are hard to grasp, conventions that may not lend itself to front-end devs mindset. 5. naming convention is a mixed of Java and C++ (hungarian notation) instead of JavaScript Source: used SAP UI5 in the past. Nobody likes it.
