This implies that you think he'd have known of your library because it was bigger than others he included, and left it out (for some reason??)?
I think you're being a little rough towards Theo in that video, and also to people in this thread like Swyx (basically trying to discount anything he said by calling him a vercel shill).
The CSS video was literally "this is where I used to be (in this category), this is where I am now (in this category), here's another category that pretty much everyone used to be in. Here are a couple other libraries in those categories in case you wanted to compare where you're at, and whether where I'm at would be a good usecase for your team."
It's really just a subjective opinion piece, and he states that he's happy where he's at, so I don't see why he'd go out of his way putting time into a library he has no plan on using in the near future (tamagui) even if it may be a better fit. It fits into a neat little bow tie of the theme of his channel and that is "these are the tools I use, and I want to talk about why I use them" and sometimes those tools give him money when he does it.

- nwienert 3y agoI mean I agree with much of what you’d said, you’re interpreting me as saying I expected him to correct the record or cover it, I never did. I just was surprised that he was completely dismissive when it directly addressed some of the pain points he was talking about. And… You’re saying I’m being rough when he’s accusing me of being delusional, which is frankly so totally out of line and I think speaks to his character way more than mine.
