I evaluated a LOT of UI toolkits for React. The premise is always great - I want to save time by not having to build a UI toolkit for my application, so I'll use a great one off the shelf. But what I found was that the evaluation falls into three questions:

1. Does it look nice and professional?

2. Will it be here tomorrow?

3. How does it feel to work with - what does my instinct say?

The first question is easy. I either like it or not. I can't answer the second one with certainty. Nobody can. I can only guess. Sometimes I'm wrong.

The third one is instinct driven. If the ergonomics feel off, my instinct will tell me. If something is not right, I'll feel it. I might not always be able to explain it, but I'll know it's a go or no go. ShadCDN came with big praise, but my instinct said a big Nope. It's stuff like that that make me think that, maybe, we add complexity because we get bored with the "boring" tech.
