It's got some downsides (or maybe not I could be wrong on these parts) from what I've seen:

1. if you want the antd style for a particular component I do not believe you can import a css file specific to just that component. you are importing the full Antd css. it's sort of big. If anyone knows how I can import just the css for a component please show me how.

2. the Antd css has a lot of rules that address generic html elements, i.e. not antd classnames only. This makes component reuse more difficult.

You're absolutely right about both of these points. I don't think they provide any solution to #1, but they do include a workaround for #2, even if it's pretty dirty: https://ant.design/docs/react/customize-theme#How-to-avoid-m...?

It's a fantastic UI library, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone using React.

How does it compare to the more popular Material UI?

So your issue is with the term design language?

Not OP, but I believe its because it crops the button indicating it is not good for responsive layouts.
