Shadcn/UI Defaults to Base UI

Shadcn/UI, a widely used UI library, has made a significant change by defaulting to Base UI as its primary component library. This decision comes after Base UI has demonstrated stability and community adoption, with over 6 million weekly downloads and a growing list of users.

The switch to Base UI is a result of the library's continued improvement and the community's preference for it. In fact, new projects created with shadcn/create now default to Base UI, with Radix available as an alternative. This change aims to simplify development and improve user experience for Shadcn/UI users.

The team behind Shadcn/UI has been actively working on Base UI, shipping new and useful components regularly. As a result, Base UI has become the go-to choice for new projects, with a 2:1 adoption rate over Radix. This community-driven decision has led to the official switch to Base UI as the default component library.

With this change, Shadcn/UI users can expect a more streamlined development experience and improved performance. As the library continues to evolve, users can look forward to even more features and enhancements. For now, the community is embracing the switch to Base UI, and it's clear that this decision will benefit users in the long run.
