MUI needs a new component similar to Antd's Space component.

Summary

Creating a split-grouped UI composed of inputs, buttons, and icons in MUI is surprisingly painful. We need a smarter grouping component similar to Ant Design's Space that can handle spacing, alignment, and composition of mixed elements more elegantly.

It's hard to understand why MUI, after more than a decade of development, still doesn't provide a first-class solution for such a common UI pattern.

@nodirbekprogrammer Hey dear!
MUI's nearest alternative to Space is Stack, but stack only handles block elements.

Maybe we can achieve the same goal this way?

<Box display="inline-block" gap={2}>
   <Item />
   <Item />
   <Item />
</Box>

@navidmadannezhad border-radius, divider, hover effects, and other styling effects are not included in Stack:

Thanks for the feedback, waiting for upvotes.

I will try to build a custom component and put it to https://www.mui-treasury.com/primitive
