At first glance, this project looks like it&#x27;s mostly a widget library built on top of ReactJS. Grommet may have grander ambitions than that (similar to how Qt has lots of non-GUI components such as file access, cryptographic hashes, etc.).<p>As for why they characterize it as &quot;enterprise&quot;, you can look at their examples from <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.grommet.io&#x2F;docs&#x2F;design&#x2F;showcase" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.grommet.io&#x2F;docs&#x2F;design&#x2F;showcase</a><p>Also look at the blog post: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.grommet.io&#x2F;2015&#x2F;11&#x2F;23&#x2F;what-is-grommet&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.grommet.io&#x2F;2015&#x2F;11&#x2F;23&#x2F;what-is-grommet&#x2F;</a><p>Looking over the widgets, this is not something to write apps like:<p>- 2D games<p>- raster graphics such as visualizing a stadium of available seats for customers to choose and buy tickets<p>... hence the &quot;enterprisey&quot; nature of the UX framework. It has dashboards, datagrids, calendar picker, etc to help you write typical line-of-business apps.

Salesforce&#x27;s one looks more developed than HP&#x27;s. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lightningdesignsystem.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lightningdesignsystem.com&#x2F;</a>

The text font looks very bad at &quot;normal&quot; size on my very typical enterprise corporate Win7 1920x1080 monitor.<p>It appears to be the Source Sans Pro font, if I remove that everything looks OK.

What&#x27;s making this look more &quot;enterprise&quot; than any other CSS framework? Agreed that it looks nice, but I don&#x27;t see how it&#x27;s geared toward enterprise products.

What is the support for IE? I can&#x27;t find it. I figure that would be very important if it&#x27;s going after enterprise companies.

But where&#x27;s the LCARS interface?
