I agree, if you don't like a key feature of a library, like tailwind-based styling which is meant to be customized, then that library is probably not for you.

The form component is more the exception for its complexity but forms are also very complex on the web.

Being a wrapper on top of Radix is kind of the point. You can't build a nice-looking MVP in an afternoon with Radix - you need one afternoon just to style every state of button - but with shadcn you can. Their experiment is to give you the ability to still spend an afternoon styling the button later without having to hack around a complex library. Your ability to rewrite it even away from tailwind is exactly the point. Ever tried rewriting MUI to use tailwind?
