My thoughts exactly. Especially if "do it exactly as non-dev design folks who don't actually ever write functional code decided it should be 3 months ago before they moved on to another project" isn't a requirement, something like vuetify gives a lot of functional and visual consistency (while providing standard support for a lot of accessibility stuff), in a tested and progressing toolkit.

A colleague consolidated new dev at his employer under vuetify and it took away some of the "design meetings", and allowed them to turn around projects faster (anecdotal, to be sure). All internal 'line of business' type stuff.



People keep mentioning vuetify. It implements Google's Material UI, and it's the last thing I ever want anywhere near a website.

Also, regardless of how extended component libraries are, they are still quite constrained in what they can do. Especially in layouts.


I mention vuetify as its faster to type than 'bootstrap-vue', but BSV is what I've used more. Used vuetify on one small prototype at the suggestion of some colleagues - some differences and nice aspects compared to BSV, but I default back to BSV for familiarity/speed/completeness. vuetify seemed to have some nicer defaults for accessibility compared to BSV, but it wasn't enough to make me switch (also, because... I'm not a huge MD fan either).
