One thing you get for free moving to Base UI from Radix is speed.
I benchmarked the areas that most affect perf (opening a dialog on a big page, mounting lots of selects, opening big menus, sweeping over menu items etc.)
In each of the six scenarios, Base UI was the fastest.
Starting today, we are making @base_ui the default component library in shadcn/ui.
First, a bit of history. When shadcn/ui launched in 2023, it was built on Radix. At the time, nothing else came close. Headless. Accessible. Composable.
Fast forward a few years and the team who built Radix are building something new: Base UI.
