What needs improvement

The docs are a bit chaotic now that both the original free tier and paid components are all together (and free!), and SSR on non-Nuxt Vue stacks is a bit hit and miss because certain parts make assumptions that SSR only happens on Nuxt, not eg Inertia or Astro

vs Alternatives

It doesn’t require you to take ownership of all of the underlying primitives like Shadcn/UI does, and the theming is much more advanced and transparent to me than Shadcn/UI. It also has more layout-related components ready to go than Shadcn/UI and with less mental overhead.

The closest DX I can think of is ChakraUI (for React), and in comparison to that, the SSR & Tailwind integration story can’t be beat (plus, it’s on Vue, which I prefer more).
