I tried shadcn and didn't like it. I don't want a new component in my source tree that I have to maintain.

For nearly everything, I won't need to customize it (and if I do have to customize often, it probably means that particular component library wasn't a good choice).

And for the rare cases where I do need to customize something, I can always go into the source of the component library, copy what I want out into my project, and edit it.

Who cares? If it works, and makes the development process easier, and doesn't cause problems, then that's a good thing.
