When choosing a component library, factors like customizability, bundle size, design system vs full creative control, styling time, performance, accessibility, and stack/framework being used should be considered.
Some popular component libraries include Google's Material-UI, Chakra UI, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, Ant Design, Bootstrap, Windi CSS, UnoCSS, and a newcomer called Kobalte for SolidJS developers.
Each library has its own strengths and weaknesses in terms of customization, theming, accessibility, bundle size, components availability, and performance.
Developers can choose the most suitable component library based on their specific project requirements, such as enterprise apps, developer preferences, design control needs, and performance priorities.
