I was shocked by how buggy Angular Material is. Some of the CDK stuff is nice but Angular Material, until very recently, deviated from all versions of the Material spec and was just full of issues. I'm looking at you popover.

I'm using Bootstrap 5.x with a Material 3-ish component styles for my current project.

Some common Angular Material gotchas may include...

  - Checkbox text doesn't wrap
  - There isn't a datetime picker (only date)
  - Styling library components / child components is a pain in the ass. Their escape hatch for this (ng-deep) has been deprecated for years without a replacement.

That's why I chose to go with PrimeNG for our project, which has turned out great.

Thats shocking considering Google created both Angular and Material UI.

Yes, yes it is. React devs have a much better Material library.
