You say that Afaik is the creator? I didn't see him listed as a major contributor on github: https://github.com/bootstrap-vue/bootstrap-vue/graphs/contributors . Do you happen to have his Github profile link?

For me personally one of the dealbrakers was bootstrap-vue still being stuck with Vue v2 / Bootsrap v4 to this day. react-bootstrap supports Bootstrap v5 since 2021 october.

Bootstrap-Vue: A UI library that provides a range of components based on the popular Bootstrap framework, including forms, buttons, and navbars.

Yes. Please have the courtesy to feedback with a roadmap or prio of the issue. Especially for popular issues.

Asking, politely, for this should not label you as entitled freeloader. It is important input to make an informed decision wether one should just wait for the fix, workaround it, contribute a PR yourself, fork the component or drop it and consider alternatives.

One has to be careful with estimates though so they don’t become false promises. All respect to these maintainers but if I have to give one concrete example, consider following issue in a very popular Vue component, https://github.com/bootstrap-vue/bootstrap-vue/issues/5196 creating a upgrade deadlock for almost the entire Vuejs community. It’s the type of dependency that get so entrenched in everybody’s application that upgrading or moving away from it becomes very expensive and requires long term planning. As such, hundreds of comments there asking for estimates and also dozens of heavy names offering help in forms of PRs, forks or donations, all on a very polite level, but the maintainers kept promising it will be done “very soon” for almost 2 years straight. It appears the last months the war has been adding more obstacles so all respect for that, but even before the roadmap was hopelessly unpredictable.

I get it, as a volunteer other things in life often have higher prio, estimates tend to be optimistic and you might want to work on things in no particular order at all. What’s important is to be transparent, polite and communicate.

We are using PrimeVue at my work and are very happy with it. I'm not super familiar with Mui so can't directly compare.

I recently started a side project (slickpdf.com), and was able to launch it completely without AI. Full stack, no AI was used in the creation of the project. Not that this is an accomplishment or anything. Honestly, it's more of a confession. AI greatly reduces overhead, especially when starting from scratch. I could've had Copilot scaffold my landing page, or asked ChatGPT to flesh out my app UI using PrimeVue. These steps would've saved me hours of work. But no, instead I opted for the hand-written approach of yesteryear. True, it's thrilling, and I like the control of knowing that I wrote and inspected every line of code. But I'm left to wonder how much faster I can ship with a little sprinkle of the AI pixie dust.

I've been using the likes of PrimeVue (https://primevue.org/), PrimeReact (https://primereact.org/) and PrimeNG (https://primeng.org/) because they attempt to give you a library of components that work well out of the box and have a similar API across multiple technologies: Vue, React and Angular, respectively.

I feel like at some point I'll probably make a project with just jQuery and possibly jQuery UI for the sake of it, since what's there doesn't seem too flashy, but would probably work just fine for most we based CRUD needs. I might end up rediscovering up close why people moved to the above in droves instead of jQuery, but honestly something that you just drop in and that works has a lot of appeal. No complex toolchains, no configuring a bunch of plugins and registering them with the app, no endless abstractions for state management and things about render loops to keep in mind, just a silly JS import and writing some shlocky code that still sorta works.

I like to consider the UI of Kanboard as a good example. It's minimalist, but works great for what it is: https://kanboard.org/
