I expressed what problems I see - their design looks outdated and doesn't even take into account devices with “tap” screens (elements are too small, tables are not responsive).

You misunderstood me: I wasn't saying that their design should look like Material Design 3. I said it should look better and take into account all the lessons we learned from Twitter Bootstrap, Material Design, and other sources. Otherwise, there are no reasons to use it.



Material Design looks awful to me. I quite like this.

The elements in the demo are also definitely not too small for my taste. On my iPhone 13 Pro I actually think the demo looks best at 85% and it is still perfectly usable at that zoom level on a touchscreen. Everything is too damn big on mobile sites, which is ludicrous considering the tiny screens.


> their design looks outdated

Define "outdated". It looks similar to literally any other modern UI framework with the exception that it focuses on dashboard/backoffice functionality (almost none of the UI frameworks do)

> doesn't even take into account devices with “tap” screens (elements are too small, tables are not responsive).

Yes, that is maybe a problem. Depending on what exactly you need.

I've yet to see a single UI framework that offers both a consistent set of good dashboard/backoffice elements and a good mobile experience (because it's actually hard to do). And Material is emphatically not a good example.
