I know LoC is a terrible metric, but it always shocks me that things like react-select require 30k LoC.

21% the size of the code of the Apollo Lander to configure/style a select dropdown.

react-select does a lot more than style the select though, so even after this new standard for customizable selects is supported everywhere, react-select will still have about the same level of complexity as it does now.
