Looking for opinions from people with experience using MUI and/or Ant Design component libraries. Im a product designer at an e-commerce site and I’m pitching our CTO on using a react component library to improve our design to dev handoff and overall consistency. I reached out to MUI and Ant Design and both seem to have released an update with the latest Figma Variables. Not sure whether to move forward with Ant Design using Token Studios or MUI with the latest Figma Variables release.

Can’t speak for Ant but I’ve worked at more than one company that used MUI and react. A lot of companies use it in their customer/end user facing apps and websites (i.e. fedex, doordash, nyt, etc.,) so designers and devs tend to follow the patterns just by way of seeing it so much.

One con might be that because so many companies use it, your UI may end up looking somewhat generic.

It’s great from a usability stand point tho. Since it’s so common, you don’t have to worry as much about whether people will recognize that a card is clickable or get confused by the meaning of certain icons.

Few tips to improve your visual design skills

- Learn Typography: Typography is essential because 60-70% of user interfaces are about written content displayed in a meaningful way.

- Learn Layout and Composition: You don’t need to be pixel perfect, but if you place labels 10px above inputs, you must do that consistently across your whole design.

- Learn Color: Color doesn't need to be complex. Understand how colors interact with each other and learn how color can set moods.
