In 10 years time I've used a decent share of templates, but these I've enjoyed most by far and gotten the best user reactions from.
I was _about_ to praise it for at least being tabbable, but the example of "Team members" does not work with keyboard-only navigation... great stuff.
Now something you can definitely complain about is the dialog not submitting with Enter.
These are used by "agencies".
Shadcn, radix, and tailwind are all FOSS so they are not “high-priced”.
Your analysis is shallow and unfounded.
Nope. Tailwind has good support for styling the active state, in the way that you'd expect if you've used Tailwind: e.g., `bg-red-500 hover:bg-red-600 active:bg-red-700`.
Oh my word, the horror! What's wrong with agencies?
Is this recent?
This UI library sped up my dev time at least two-fold. The components and sample landing pages provided are really great IMO (and judging by their sales, it's not just me who agrees).
the comment seems more about how lousy the product it is, and sure I wouldn't want to spend my time making a lousy product, but if in my technical evaluation something sucks then there is generally a good chance that I can build something better.
So the comparison is between using money to buy something bad or using time to build something good and the phrasing would be something like:
You are welcome to use your time to build something that doesn't have all these problems.
I’ve shipped products with this kit without having to change much code because it’s very well-made.
Don’t take it from me - take it from the tens of thousands of devs who also use it.
The commenter above didn’t even look deeply into the actual offering. Catalyst is just one tiny (new) subset of the large number of things offered by the entire package.

Tailwind (and similar, I tend to use https://unocss.dev/) is not good for your frontend architecture BUT they allow you to be so fast, that it negates the benefits.
For a job well done, I'd follow the principles of https://maintainablecss.com/ For throwaway code I need to cram out as fast as I can, Tailwind it is.
I understand agencies using Tailwind, or Bootstrap, their revenue depends on it.
What's the definition of a job well done? In my eyes it's completing the project and getting it out the door to customers to use. If Tailwind makes that happen, then isn't it a job well done?
> Built by experts — you can trust that all of the code is written following Tailwind CSS best practices, because it’s written by the same team who created and maintain the framework.
It's one of many templates that they sell: https://tailwindui.com/templates
It's definitely worth the one-off price tag, and the fact they include future updates (like Catalyst) is incredible.
But yeah, it is clearly not yet finished, the dark mode has a too low color ratio. Good thing is that this UI library comes bundled with the previously existing Tailwind UI.
Weird unproductive comment tbh.
