Replace Material UI with Plasmic #157

Closed ssciolla closed 2 years ago

ssciolla commented 2 years ago

After some discussion, we decided it makes sense going forward to switch to using Material UI as a component library and CSS framework over Plasmic. Plasmic offered some nice features and was good for rapid protoptying, but we weren't quite happy yet with the UI appearance, felt it was challenging to keep things in sync, and saw that the frontend codebase was much more compact more with Material UI. This switch would/will also support maintenance, as two of our other tools use Material UI.
