I'm a massive fan of KISS (the principle, not the band) and this hurts my soul. Holy crap that entire methodology of that framework is so insanely over-cooked it makes me want to rip my hair out... wtf!

This kind of stuff is exactly why the internet is getting worse and more bloated even when you remove ads and AI slop. Absolute embarassment of a methodology.

If you can't be bothered learning one of the cornerstones of rendering web pages

This is a crazy mess.

The subject of "worse reimplementations of native features" reminds me of trying to find an event for the (2012?) Olympics. They didn't seem to have a search, but they did have an infinite scrolling schedule page so I held down End until the page had everything and used the native search. No results, even when I tried something that I knew was at the top of the page.

I noticed the scrollbar was acting weird and looked into it. Turns out that they were removing the parts of the page outside of the viewport and loading them back in when you scrolled.

I suspect it's because they were finding their bloated page was slow on some devices so put in this terrible hack, but it broke basic browser features.

The problem is obvious however, most people just want a quick and easy component library and don't care about stuff like that. I often fall into that group too, because making new components from scratch is boring and annoying and then often end up looking worse with fewer features anyway than if you just copy pasted the messy shadcn amalgamation

It's what I keep complaining whenever there's talk about web systems, all these frameworks and libraries overcomplicate what should be simple. People have unlearned that the most important thing of any system is how the data is handled, the UI/UX comes second - it needs to actually work for the end user, but it should never be taken as more important than the actual data handling and the requirements.
