Does your button component implement all the functionality included in the Vite/shadcn bundle? E.g. the different variants, states, loading etc.?

I'm sorry if it does, then I'll take my accusation back, but I've seen this happen in almost all of your Nue submissions. People keep bringing up this criticism, and you never retract your misleading comparisons.

The Nue button demo isn’t claiming to replicate every feature of the Vite/ShadCN bundle—no variants, states, or loading spinners here, just a lean example to show size and simplicity. The point’s not to ‘beat’ ShadCN at its own game but to highlight how web standards can cut bloat dramatically, like a button smaller than a full SPA. I get the criticism—comparisons can feel loaded—but it’s less about misleading and more about spotlighting a different approach. Happy to tweak the framing if it’s coming off wrong.
