Whenever I see the letters "MUI" this is exactly what I think of!

#4Is there a terse bird's-eye view explanation what Material Design is from a programmer's perspective? I tried approaching Google's documentation more than once, but, invariably, got completely overwhelmed every time.

In a nutshell, Material Design's philosophy is around using animations and transitions to enhance the user's experience and their perspective on the interactions with components. An example is when a user clicks on a button there will be a ripple effect. It's more of a spec with the UX and guidelines around it.

I'm the context of Material Deaign, MUI is short for Material UI, a React based implementation of Material Design. Not sure why the developer of this library would choose the same name, although I can guess. In any case it can only lead to confusion.

#7I've used this. It's easy to use, looks good, and is about a million times easier to set up than Polymer.

It is a design language from Google.
It takes a lot of inspiration from flat design but uses elevation (for example with elevated buttons). the idea is that our minds are used to '3D scan' what is in front of us and that it helps identify clickable elements.
Color is also used a lot. In an app, the same accent color is used in order to denote clickable elements.
It gives us a framework with mostly good choices (nothing is perfect) in order to build apps (or websites) that users can use more easily since they will gradually get used to its conventions.

#9I wish Apple would have a similar guideline to front-end developers. Here's the closest I can find https://developer.apple.com/ios/human-interface-guidelines/

#10It seems from their github profile active development is going on in MUI CSS since Feb, 2015. This CSS framework looks decent. They given some pre-defined layout to start with. Also, first time I seen they given some example for HTML Email template.
They supports React, Angular JS and Web Components. Website is very neat and clean, it's a real pleasure to navigate their site.
I created a simple and short video overview (no installation, or tutorials) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8I2YS7OCkpQ
