Discussion on: Why are CSS frameworks so used?

I understand your point of view. I have never tried MUI and I will definitely test it for some apps to do quickly 😊 there is always something to learn.

Do you recommend it to me?

My problem with css frameworks is that most of the things (for example a ready-made grid) are now feasible with a few lines of css (e.g. grid or flex box) and I have always lost more time to customize a framework than starting from a blank page 🤯

I definitely can recommend it, meanwhile I'm using it in several projects for 5 years and I'm quite happy with it.
I understand your point, that's also a little dilemma for me. Some css frameworks are totally overblown, especially when I just want to use a stupid grid system 😄
With Bootstrap I lost a huge amount of time for customization, but after I was more and more familiar with it I think I saved the time in the end.
