That's great. Started using Base UI early on via 9ui [0] and found the primitives very pleasant to work with, especially if one wants to compose more complex components from other Base UI components. Maybe Shad can reduce some of the dependencies they rely on now. [0] https://www.9ui.dev

Moving away from codemods and towards LLMs doing migration work is an interesting development. Even if they’re more deterministic, I wonder if the days of codemods are numbered.
