What's Good
Components copy into your codebase—no dependency to update. Built on Radix primitives for accessibility. Tailwind styling is customizable. The CLI adds components on demand.
The Catch
You own the code, including the maintenance. Updates require manual copying. The paradigm differs from traditional component libraries.
Verdict
The component approach that makes customization natural.
