We were recently looking at https://ant.design/ https://ant.design/ which is one of the most popular React component frameworks. The components are nice and the design is appealing, but the 1.2 MB size is off-putting (https://bundlephobia.com/result?p=antd@4.5.3 https://bundlephobia.com/result?p=antd@4.5.3). "Wait," we told ourselves. "Surely, we can do some tree-shaking, replace momentjs, be strategic in our imports and shave a ton of that off" With all of that we got it down to 1/2 of the size, but that was still too big for our needs.
