I'm officially a curmudgeon. Here's a rant about the Shadcn component library and how over-complicated its radio buttons are: https://paulmakeswebsites.com/writing/shadcn-radio-button/

The Incredible Overcomplexity of the Shadcn Radio Button

Radio buttons are built into web browsers. Why are we using a UI library that wraps another UI library that rebuilds radio buttons from scratch? Why does rendering a radio button require multiple dependencies and several kilobytes of JavaScript? How did we make a built-in browser control so complicated?
