Curious what everyone is using these days. I've been on shadcn/ui but wondering if there are better alternatives now.

shadcn/ui is still the best in my opinion. The copy-paste model means you own the code and can customize everything. No dependency lock-in.

We've been using Radix primitives directly with our own styling. More work up front but total control.
