>"We can create our own implementation of a drop-down box"

Have been using MS "Dynamics" and wanted to add custom styling as a user. Even small lists/tables have all the off-screen elements destroyed so you can't copy stuff from the page, but also you might have to scroll things into view before they get styled (:has gets broken).

They re-implement tables as a swamp of elements which now lack semantic relationships.

They give the same elements random ids, they're non-deterministic. You can only really style by hierarchy, but for every property they seem to add at least one new element.

Everything about it is slow and cumbersome, and no wonder a simple table has hundreds of elements.

It's so Microsoft, the "don't bake your own widgets" taken to the n-th degree.
