Verdict

Rather than being a UI library/tool, Datablocks is more of a tool to process and visualize dataset. The processing/visualization options in Datablocks can be useful in areas like machine learning. Since Datablocks does not fit the needs of our frontend, I would not recommend Datablocks as the frontend library.
