I take interest in open source 'business UI' friendly UI frameworks, this is actually a very good choice (besides the weirdness of looking like AWS). A lot of people don't realize there's a lot of basic things that go into this. Blueprint (https://blueprintjs.com https://blueprintjs.com) made by Palantir has been my go-to otherwise but it misses some common things (like a table). Elastic's recently open sourced framework (https://eui.elastic.co/ https://eui.elastic.co/) looks pretty good too, though I haven't tried it.

Curious to hear more about your experience with blueprint? Any common issues, bugs, etc? Is it frequently updated? Performant? Intuitive?

  Pretty good otherwise, very frequently updated since it looks like Palantir actually uses it internally. Another issue is it's completely mobile incompatible, which is kinda sad but usually not practically a big deal for the usecases it's used for.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've used VMware's Clarity professionally (https://clarity.design/ https://clarity.design/) and it's pretty bad (design and code wise). There's also IBM's Carbon (https://carbondesignsystem.com/); https://carbondesignsystem.com/); I love its design but it's incomplete in some areas. Microsoft has Fluent UI (https://github.com/microsoft/fluentui https://github.com/microsoft/fluentui) which I have never used.

I've found https://preview.tabler.io/ https://preview.tabler.io/ to be really good for a business-friendly UI though I haven't used it extensively

  I used Tabler in my last role, but their react wrapper seems to have been abandoned so for my more recent efforts I’ve used core ui which has been an ok experience.

I see a table package for Blueprint - what’s missing from that? (I know nothing about Blueprint) https://www.npmjs.com/package/@blueprintjs/table https://www.npmjs.com/package/@blueprintjs/table

  Yeah it's kind of confusing, Blueprint's table is more like a spreadsheet ( https://blueprintjs.com/docs/#table https://blueprintjs.com/docs/#table).

Would love to see an "awesome" list for all business UI frameworks like this.

  Here’s a list I maintain of UI frameworks: https://gist.github.com/manigandham/34154e63dc3c1b8747fab40de71bc38c https://gist.github.com/manigandham/34154e63dc3c1b8747fab40d...
