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/
