Advantages of Material UI
Ship Faster
Material UI allows you to focus on your core business logic rather than reinventing the UI. With over 2,500 open-source contributors investing countless hours into these components, you can leverage their work to ship your product faster.
Beautiful by Default
Material UI components are meticulously designed to meet the highest standards of form and function. While adhering closely to Material Design, the library also diverges from the official spec where necessary to offer multiple great options.
Customizability
Material UI provides an extensive set of intuitive customization features. The templates available in their store demonstrate the extent to which you can tailor the components to fit your brand or project needs.
Cross-Team Collaboration
Material UI’s intuitive developer experience lowers the barrier to entry for back-end developers and less technical designers. This empowerment facilitates more effective collaboration across teams. The design kits provided by Material UI help streamline workflows and boost consistency between designers and developers.
Trusted by Thousands of Organizations
Material UI boasts the largest UI community in the React ecosystem, with a history that stretches back to 2014, making it almost as old as React itself. The robust community support—evident on platforms like Stack Overflow—ensures that Material UI will be a reliable choice for years to come.
Material UI vs. Base UI
Material UI and Base UI offer many of the same UI components, but with a key difference: Base UI does not include any default styles or styling solutions.
• Material UI: Comprehensive, comes with default styles, and is optimized to work with Emotion (or styled-components).
• Base UI: Considered the “skeletal” or “headless” counterpart to Material UI, it provides components and hooks without predefined styles. Future versions of Material UI will use Base UI components and hooks as their foundation.
