With some chunk splitting and a good hosting, it has always seemed reasonable to me. The main argument for me when choosing a front end framework is the availability of ready-made UI components, and React has always been ahead thanks to MUI. I'm just an amateur/hobbyist at front end development though, curious what real front end developers care about most in a framework. Especially, isn't that a huge pain not to have access to all the wonderful MUI components when leaving react?

Bundle size? Yes, esp with third party code. See https://qwik.builder.io for arguments why.

On the value of MUI and what senior front end devs care about, you’d find this interesting (esp the linked youtube of Theo): https://twitter.com/magnemg/status/1608634824591544320
