Material-UI: React components for faster and easier web development. It is a comprehensive guide for visual, motion, and interaction design across platforms and devices; Feathers: Open source user interface components for Starling Framework. Build mobile & desktop games and apps with fully-skinnable UI controls. It aims for buttery smooth performance based on the philosophy that cross-platform UI kits shouldn't sacrifice one of the most important benefits of native development.

Material-UI and Feathers can be categorized as "UI Components" tools.

Some of the features offered by Material-UI are:

Forms
Snackbars

On the other hand, Feathers provides the following key features:

Fonts and typography are fun. Material Design is a framework (developed by Google) that basically geeks out on how to assemble your typographical elements together into a design language. If you're into fonts and typography, it's fantastic. It provides a theming engine, reusable components, and can pull different user interfaces together under a common design paradigm. I'd highly recommend looking into Borries Schwesinger's book "The Form Book" if you're going to be working with Material UI or are otherwise new to component design.
