OK two things First, how did shadcn/ui become the go-to library for UI components? Claude isn't the only one that defaults to it, so I'm guessing it's the way it's pushed in the wild somehow. Second, building on this ^, and maybe this isn't quantifiable, but if we tell Claude to use anything except shadcn (or one of the other crazy-high defaults), will Claude's output drop in quality? Or speed, reliability, other met…

I had the same question. There are older and more established component libraries, so why’d this one win? It seems like a scientific answer would be worth a lot.

Interesting. I'm using go htmx adminlte. Never once has Claude recommended or tried to use tailwind. I sometimes have to remind it to use less JS and use htmx instead but otherwise feels pretty coherent. I recommend starting projects by first creating a way of doing (architect) and then letting Claude work. It's pretty good at pretending to be you if you give it a good sample of how you do things. Note: this applies…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

But what if tailwind has the most tutorials in the training set because it's worth learning, which led to it being fairly ubiquitous and easy to add to the training set? I'm not expressing an opinion about that; it's a real question.

But what if Tailwind has the most tutorials because it's tricky and difficult? What if the intuitive, maintainable solution simply does not need so many tutorials? I'm not expressing an opinion about that, I don't do front end dev so I have no opinion, it's a real question.

There are more HTML tutorials than brainfuck tutorials. The reason is simple. Don't be obtuse.
