javascript has a massive ecosystem. solidjs is just javascript + jsx... there is nearly nothing added. Truly. Read about it before you dismiss it for a bandwagon

Again, any vanilla javascript library is a solid library

Yes, but React component libraries are not vanilla JS. React has a very mature ecosystem that allows developers to write applications really fast. Some of those React libraries are based on vanilla JS libraries, but some are not and untill those get ported to Solid, React will remain more popular for enterprise apps.

No port necessary with Solid. Check it out. I see you're highly invested in React and write often about it. Just try SolidJS on a small project. I'll bet you'll convert. ❤️❤️❤️

I have and it does not yet meet my requirements. For example, there is no mature mui library for solid yet.

What's not in suid.io you can easily find in mui.com/core/, but again, it's not necessary like React because it's vanilla js compatible.
