Shadcn: Beautifully designed components that you can copy-paste into your apps
> I use Quasar and Vue. This is my hammer for all nails, no matter the size of the nail.
Vue is great, especially with their Composition API (https://vuejs.org/guide/extras/composition-api-faq.html#why-...) and something like Pinia for state management, without the hassles of something like Redux: https://pinia.vuejs.org/
As for components, I really liked the idea behind PrimeVue/PrimeReact/PrimeNG/PrimeFaces (https://www.primefaces.org/) because I'm not aware of any other attempts of creating components that actually work similarly across different frameworks/libraries and it's really good because your skills carry over pretty well if you ever find yourself exploring a slightly different stack.
For what it's worth, the components also work decently (there's a whole list https://primevue.org/autocomplete/) and look okay (with various themes available, https://primevue.org/theming/), plus you can get examples (https://blocks.primevue.org/). Oh yeah, they also have their CSS utilities (a bit like Tailwind, https://primeflex.org/installation) and icons (https://primevue.org/icons).
I actually look forwards to the day where most of these concerns are less of an artisanal craft but rather a set of boring and well known things that just work well for quickly putting together a CRUD or whatever you need.
That said, I also explored VueRequest for handling network requests a bit more easily (https://www.attojs.org/guide/gettingStarted.html) and VueUse for stuff like LocalStorage (https://vueuse.org/guide/) and while it doesn't feel like I'm building a crappy alternative to Vuex and the complexity is reasonably manageable and the usability present, occasionally it all still feels a bit annoying to deal with - reactivity, ways to shuffle around data that I get from the back end, props, various bugs... so it's not all good, but still less complex than some of the things I've seen with React or Angular.

> You're unlikely to build anything that's usable by everyone using React/Vue/Angular.
I wonder why so few actually try doing this. I mentioned this in another comment, but PrimeFaces is one of the few (only one?) sets of usable components, that have libraries available for Angular/React/Vue/Java (though using Java is a bit of a mess because of JSF, though some like it): https://www.primefaces.org/
It's immensely cool to be able to use similar components and such across different technologies, as opposed to wanting one of those component libraries and thus being pigeonholed into either using just React (or something else), or third party bindings of questionable quality.
It's probably never going to be truly 1:1, but getting close enough seems like a good thing to me, here's an example of a random component:

https://primevue.org/treetable/

HTML with Superpowers: An Introduction to Web Components
> A UI library for React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, whatever... Imagine being able to have a component library that works with any of them (or none of them).
That seems to be a worthy goal, but I don't see that being usable in prod projects, at least not in the near future.
The closest I've seen is something like PrimeFaces, which has components for Angular, React and Vue, which is the majority of projects I've seen out there: https://www.primefaces.org (I've also used the Java JSF variety, it was... sometimes problematic)
If you need something that works the same (or as close as you can get) across multiple front end frameworks/libraries, while still having most of the components you could possibly want, I don't think there are many other options out there.
For example:
- Angular calendar: https://www.primefaces.org/primeng/calendar
- React calendar: https://www.primefaces.org/primereact/calendar/
- Vue calendar: https://www.primefaces.org/primevue/calendar

is there any component packages like mudblazor but for javascript/react?

Win32 App Isolation
JVM UI isn't so bad. I've written some pretty modern looking UI with it. The sophisticated controls are all there.
Modern JavaFX theme: https://github.com/mkpaz/atlantafx
Modern Swing theme: https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf
And these days Compose Multiplatform: https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/compose-multiplatform/
I tend to use Kotlin rather than Java but of course Java is perfectly fine too. You can also use Clojure.
If you use any of those frameworks you can distribute to Win/Mac/Linux in one command with Conveyor. It's free for open source apps and can do self-signing for Windows if you don't want to pay for the certificates or the Store (but the Store is super cheap these days, $19 one off payment for an individual). Also supports Electron and Flutter if you want to use those.
From those frameworks you can then access whatever parts of the Windows API you want. Flutter even has WinRT bindings these days! So it's not quite so bad.

Abandoning JavaFX was a mistake
Why would you want to create a custom look? What happened to the idea that apps should have standard looks so that they are easy to use? Anyway, if you want to have a custom look, there are a lot of open-source Swing look and feels, many of which are themeable. FlatLaf seems to be especially popular: https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf
