+## Why Material-UI?
+
+The short answer is that it's what we've been using in Backstage internally.
+
+The original choice is based on Google's material design being a thorough and well
+thought out full design system, with many of mature and powerful libraries implementing
+both the system itself and auxiliary components that we knew that we would like to use.
+
+It strikes a good balance between power, customisability, and ease of use. Since a core
+focus of Backstage is to make plugin developers productive with as few hurdles as
+possible, material-ui lets plugin makers both get going easily with well-known tech
+and a large flora of components.
