Material UI core is around ~100kb bundled.

If you’re doing some kind of code-splitting or SSR you can probably serve a fraction of that.

Unless you’re developing for a very particular use case like embedded, I fail to see how the raw size of the package is any concern given how much MaterialUI brings to the table in terms of interaction design capabilities and dev speed.

Regarding your comment on the network tab, that’s really got me scratching my head… I’ve done a lot of profiling of React apps and when they’re bundled you don’t see a network call explosion because you’re just downloading a couple of JS bundles at worst… I can guarantee that a React app with the dependencies you describe would have anywhere between good and excellent network performance in 3G and above.
