    - Semantic UI, although it had a lot of potential, the library is no longer maintained and the community fork it's not something I would use in a production environment.

  3. React library, 60+ hooks and components with dark theme support and focus on accessibility

    - Mantine is also simple and friendly. It's has great components and the form controls along with the hooks they provide for validation and manipulation are also great. The main disadvantage here is that some components are buggy and the contributors/maintainers are not very responsive/friendly. As far as I know it doesn't have full support for React 18 and there are some problems with browser support also. I think there was a lot of marketing with it and still needs some time to grow.

  5. Simple, modular and accessible UI components for your React applications.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    - Chakra UI is a very simple and friendly library. It probably has the easiest way of customizing themes and components and the support is pretty great. Despite the advantages is a small library and it doesn't have some necessary features like autocomplete, multiple select, various progress/loaders or a way to pass a custom option to the select component because is built on native select. Also bundle size is pretty big and has significantly increased on latest releases. A part of these things are on their roadmap, but they don't have an ETA.

  6. An enterprise-class UI design language and React implementation with a set of high-quality React components, one of best React UI library for enterprises
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    - AntD has a clean and better UI and you can use many components right out of the box. The less customization and theming can be a bit complicated and you can run into needing extra configuration for your module bundler. It currently doesn't have full support for React 18 (it's planned for v5 as I saw on their github) and accessibility is very poor.
