I got in trouble for this before. App was using some third party super bloated select-react-component-replacement-made-of-divs, and it wasn't behaving properly.

I got in trouble for this before. App was using some third party super bloated select-react-component-replacement-made-of-divs, and it wasn't behaving properly. I just replaced it with a select, so then people complained it was ugly. And I get where they're coming from. At the same time... native browser controls work, they don't require maintenance, they don't add to the bundle size, or have complex version inter-dependencies. Maybe it's time to rethink frontend. Maybe what we write should be designed to work with the standard HTML controls. (Or maybe it's time for me to go back to the backend and play with database, because I feel increasingly out of touch).
