- mattmanser 4y agoWhy? Material's dead, adding React is adding a massive amount of bloat and build steps. You need to have a reason to pay the price of React. Otherwise you're just being a sheep. I say this using React and Material UI in a present project, from my perspective development for what is a pretty simple form UI is massively slowed down by using them. Could have knocked out the whole site on my own in 1/2 the time using the 'old' stuff. But now we've got a lovely loading spinner while it downloads everything it needs piecemeal and a bunch of basic browser functionality is broken, we've got 10x the amount of code, have to deal with a whole extra API layer and it's a nightmare to debug sitting there watching network calls instead of being able to step through the code in a proper debugger, brilliant stuff. Completely worth it for that one datepicker we have.

- farmin 4y agoIs Material dead? What replaced it?
- nasmorn 4y agoIn my clients company they usually even implement admin crud UI as api + React and it takes them so much longer than just whipping up some forms in Rails. They just do this as a default state of doing things not because they actually need an extra api for anything.
