Sure, but a framework won't help if the output looks bad because the design system is just horrible UI/UX wise.

But great effort, apparently you are not wrong, since Material Design is so wide spread nowadays. But it's just _my_ personal opinion that the "design system" looks absolutely hideous.

I also find Material Design abhorrent. I've read the specs and feel that I understand and agree with Google's motivations for creating such a system, but the result is just plain ugly to me. Material Design has become the "Bootstrap 3" of this generation of websites/webapps, spreading like a virus in part because it's a simple, prepackaged way to quickly add a professional looking design framework to a site. But already now when I come across a Material Design-themed website I feel it's a bit dated, so "2015". Having said all that, I've used a couple Creative Tim bootstrap themes in the past and really liked them, so even if you don't like Material I suggest you look at their other offerings. No financial relationship.
