I picked up react/redux about 5 months ago to reimplement a CPQ that had major prefomance issues. I'm a lousy front end developer and antd has allowed me to create a beautiful and more importantly, extremely functional, user interface with minimal effort. I'm honestly not sure this project would have succeeded without it (and typescript :)
What's the difference between Pro and regular? As a casual side project builder, why would I choose regular over Pro?
Basicly, Ant Design Pro is a React boilerplate based on Ant Design. So they should be work togerther other than replacing each other.
