For a large-screen-centric, all-batteries-included React UI component library, I love Palantir's Blueprint: https://github.com/palantir/blueprint

I'm in a similar boat as you. We actually started building on top of Ant. However, we first started out by building out our Admin pages and they were built with Blueprint. I like Blueprint a lot more than Ant, but Blueprint doesn't pretend to support responsive applications[1], which was somewhat important to us. Blueprint exposes a couple building blocks (like PopOver) which really help in building more custom functionality. It actually looks like Evergreen be closer to Blueprint in this regard so I might piss off all the devs and evaluate Evergreen. [1]https://github.com/palantir/blueprint/wiki/Frequently-asked-...
In Evergreen: a React UI Framework built by Segment
Well the sad thing about this is that Palantir is actually doing some very good things with Lerna, Babel and Yarn and they tried to explain that... ...BUT SOME PEOPLE ALREADY MADE UP THEIR MIND AND JUST REFUSE TO LISTEN TO ANY REASON. Do you want to hear what Palantir is ACTUALLY doing using these tools? Here you go: "[...]We appreciate your concerns based on the article you linked to. We would like to clarify that Palantir's contracts are with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the ICE directorate responsible for investigating serious transnational criminal activity such as human trafficking, child exploitation, and counter-terrorism as opposed to the activities theorized in the article. We're happy to discuss your concerns in person if you're interested, please get in touch." https://github.com/palantir/blueprint/issues/2870 TL;DR:

Palantir is helping the HSI unit within ICE to FIGHT CHILD ABUSE, STOP HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND STOP TERRORISM. Now can anyone explain to me what is so terribly wrong and evil about THAT? Anyone???
In Lerna relicences to protest ICE
I wonder if the companies mentioned will cease to use lerna or cease to update lerna? Or if they'll just ignore the clause since the likelihood of any meaningful enforcement is about zero? For example, I checked the top two companies on the list and both Microsoft [0] and Palantir [1] are using lerna currently. [0]: https://github.com/Microsoft/fast-dna/blob/705cb008a59efb4d8...

In Lerna relicences to protest ICE
For context, jamebuilds is the maintainer or contributor of many javascript libraries like Lerna, Babel, and Yarn. He recently tweeted [1] that he would go to war with Palantir for collaboration with ICE. He opened several issues with Palantir's blueprint which uses Lerna [2]. He then opened a PR to change Lerna's license with the MIT license (with persional exceptions) [3] where it was merged after the original author agreed since jamebuilds is one of the primary maintainers now. Palantir did respond in one of the issues [4] where they clarified they work with HSI and would be open to meeting in person but it did not seem to change jamebuild's opinion. [1]: https://twitter.com/jamiebuilds/status/1034517589001613312 [2]: https://github.com/palantir/blueprint/issues/2870, https://github.com/palantir/blueprint/issues/2875, https://github.co

Actually a good example is Blueprint CSS framework from palantir (https://github.com/palantir/blueprint). It's fully tailored around their design philosophy and they are not beholden to anyone else. However you have to remember that your scale, we will follow you (and fix your bugs) rather than demand you serve us. Who knows we both might learn off each other !
