Create Guten Block VS Reakit

Sounds like you're on the right track. You can go with a template, but I'd only recommend that if you're trying to stick to PHP. Instead, checkout create-guten-block as a starting framework for your custom block. Source: over 1 year ago

I used to dislike it too, but I started using ACF Gutenberg blocks along with create-guten-block and I find it pretty flexible and useful now. Source: almost 3 years ago

As a tech lead (or whoever makes the technical decision), it looks very tempting to adopt the open source UI libraries, if possible. In the React.js land, I used a bit of Charkra UI and Reakit. Source: over 1 year ago

I'm currently considering React-aria, HeadlessUI, Radix-ui and Reakit for reimplementing the user-interface for a customer, but I find it hard to choose. Source: almost 2 years ago

I’ve got some libraries I’m looking into to fill the gap. Currently looking at radix, reakit, and react-spectrum. Source: about 2 years ago

Regardless of what you use for styling though, you should look into so-called headless ui components. These are hooks and components only focused on functionality and accessibility, which you then use to build your own styled components. Some examples are https://reakit.io/, https://www.downshift-js.com/ and https://headlessui.dev/. Source: almost 3 years ago

For common components, I can't recommend Reakit enough. It's a keyboard accessible, unstyled component library with dialogs, popovers, and much more. I use it for all of my personal projects nowadays. Combined with Framer Motion for animation and Styled Components for styling, it's a killer mix. - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago
