Maybe they changed something, it seems fast at the moment. Customizing a server from Dell has never had a great user interface, but I appreciate that it has remained consistent over the years and not gotten worse.
Who is this for, except dell? I don't see any reason why anyone would adopt this outside of dell.
Using resources on coming up with a literal design system to unify their look seems like a waste of time to me. You don't really need an entire design system, just design guidelines, which require a lot less effort.
As for the design itself... I don't know. Honestly there is not a lot to comment on here. "White and flat" is what it is. They don't seem to be able to use it to make their own site look good. There are things overflowing, text is wrapping, etc, and somehow the site is incredibly slow.
Content-wise it's also just full of circlerjerky UI/UX fluff and nonsense. No one will ever care to read any of it because Dell are not the MUI folks. No one cares what some consultant Dell hired to do all this thinks about design.
Oh yeah, there's also this great bit in their docs under "TypeScript support":
> If your application is using TypeScript to pull in the JavaScript from our CDN, be sure to declare Dell Design System as "any" in your index.ts file so that the imported DDS library variable can be used inside your application.
> Who is this for, except dell? I don't see any reason why anyone would adopt this outside of dell.
Just because it's public doesn't mean it's public for a reason.
It's possible that this is just a deliverable from a design agency, put up on a domain to make it easily accessible, and that there's no need or easy ability to put it behind a login.

Lots of companies use this as a passive hiring tool. Demonstrates how forward thinking they are. They're unfortunately burning all the good will with all the other technical mistakes/issues.
There seem to be some weird UX issues with the site on my iPhone (in Safari and Firefox Focus)… link text isn’t clickable but the arrows next them sometimes are, and the whitespace beyond the arrow is; there seem to be hidden elements near link text that are mailto:s; and some links just go to blank content wrapped in the system header. Anyone else experiencing these too?
