Polaris should be a simple CSS Admin UI Framework. like Bootstrap, Tailwind CSS, or Foundation. the web is changing, new technologies come and go. today's best is tomorrow's worst. Basic things should be the same. Forcing people to use React is not a Great Idea. Suppose you are going to use a Polaris table component and your table is Complex with different data uses you can't do that with a Polaris table component! LOL. Even if you add Polaris CSS with CDN you have to add wired classes along with 400 % more HTML. Ther is no room for Solid.js, svelte or Vue devolapers. It's a serious issue Polaris Degine system should be CSS and simple js. like other UI frameworks.

@javmah We are currently exploring this path! Thank you for adding this as a discussion topic.

Totally agree.
Our company is using Vue as main framework for all projects. And we see Vue is better than React (Performance, learning curve, cost to dev, time to dev,...) and the most important is Vue code/structure is much easier to look at than React.
While Shopify releases Polaris and all the libs based on React, the our dev team is sad, and I see around in the Vue community, they're not happy too...

Our team had to pick some guys to dev a Vue version of Polaris here.
Luckily, it's really good and we gain Built for Shopify badges for almost all of our apps.

Hopefully Shopify can look more deeply and listen to the dev community.

Yes, we too are using Vue for current and future apps and using the same npm package for now. Removing the react complexity would be fab.

Any update on this? I keep running into issues using the components from Polaris that don't have all of the props that plain html elements don't have. For example I need access to name and value on Button but that doesn't appear to possible.
