I always wanted to try solid, but until now the support for third party libraries prevented me. In React, I especially enjoy that using mui, I can easily import any icon and lots of nicely styled components. Is there something similar in solid?

Also, what's your favorite GraphQL client?

There's SUID, which is MUI for Solid.js (there are a few others, like solid-headless or hope-ui) and for GraphQL, there's @solid-primitives/graphql and solid-urql; currently, the Solid Community has a Hackathon, which might turn out even more solutions.

Also, some people are currently trying to revive jscodeshift with a react-to-solid codemod. I don't know about their current state, but have heard that they successfully shifted a medium-sized app with minimal manual intervention.
