Developers are creating lots of UI libraries but after sometime they lose traction and support for this library abandoned, bug fixes/improvements will be halted. If so, why create so many libraries instead of writing yet another theme for bootstrap. Best example is material ui kits, they are a lot, but only 2 or 3 of them are still continuing development
Question for HN: I'm a systems developer and want to play a bit with frontend development (writing frontends for custom tools I built). What framework + feature-complete component library is recommended in 2017? React? Vue? Polymer? Plain JS with intercooler.js? I feel a bit overwhelmed.
Best way to do that is start with this template: https://github.com/Day8/re-frame-template
Which is based on this library: https://github.com/Day8/re-frame
ClojureScript is fantastic. Being immutable as a baseline makes it work so much better in the React world of things. That said, if you haven't used any Lisps it can be a bit intimidating (for me it still is, a bit), but you get to the point fairly quickly where things can be both daunting and productive at the same time.
If you prefer to stick with more raw JS, I recommend React without a data-framework until you find you need one. Raw react components are plenty to get you started.

vue or riot would be a good choice to play and develop something quickly I think.
Don't want this to sound like bashing, but the website doesn't work very well on mobile (hover and active states act weirdly, menu very clumbersome, etc.), and I assume the same can be said about the toolkit. Hopefully this is an area the author(s) plan to work on. UPDATE: Just realised this is developed by a Chinese food delivery service ele.me (饿了么). I visited their website and found its developers made it complete…
Most UIs are Desktop or Mobil based, a UI which fits all is hard to find and sometimes not really good.

Vue is really nice to develop in. I have led the push to adopt Vue in our company now. It is very well put together and along with WebPack is really improving our entire setup. It definitely provides the kind of standards we need to grow our team around.
Actively refusing pull requests that make the framework responsive is a bit of a downer for me, but overall I like what the author(s) did
