I have used Material-UI (with react) on a number of occasions and enjoy using it every time. It is well thought out, and well documented. It's probably what I would use for a new project unless I found something even better.

Wonderful, knowledgeable, and patient educator. I got more from him in 2 hours than I've gotten in a full day of school. He was easy to understand, and was great at explaining concepts that I struggle with. Only gave 5 stars because 10 stars were not an option.
