GitHub user richardvil added a comment to the discussion: Should we improve the default UI/UX for generated applications in Grails 8
I believe this is a valuable opportunity to modernize the developer experience without sacrificing grails core principles. Freshly generated application includes bootstrap with minimal styling, you can apply fields plugin and the scaffolding system, but I think they lack the flexibility needed to seamlessly apply third-party libraries or deeper customization (must say that I haven't worked with fields or scaffolding for a long time). This approach works, but it remains limited, and it creates a noticeable gap when compared to the first-run experience offered by other frameworks. >From my perspective, grails should css-framework-agnostic. Forcing a specific >styling stack can introduce unnecessary dependencies, complicate the >integration of external libraries and discourage teams that prefer alternative >tools. That said, I also believe many developers would benefit from having an >optional, opinionated default UI layer that accelerates initial development, >provides a clear structure for layouts and forms, and establishes a baseline >of UX consistency. Additionally, I would strongly consider integrating Spring Security UI, the functionality it provides is essential for rapid application development.
