Luckily GPUI isn't vibe coded at all but a mature and well thought-out project.. /s

I tried using it and yeah, GPUI felt very sloppy. Something about that lack of documentation + having to install it from some subdirectory in a giant monorepo + Tailwind-based API...

And the recommended component library for it (GPUI Kit) seems to have been 100% Clauded, down to the website and README.

  • the component library is gpui-component which I think is a too old of a project to have been built primarily by AI

    gpui-kit is meant to solve your second point: installing it from crates.io rather some unrelated monorepo

    it doesn't matter if gpui-kit is vibe coded because it's just upstream gpui, repackaged
