One of the few un-nuanced takes I have is that every component library/DS should be built on top of Radix or React-Aria or some other thorough but extensible library. If you’re implementing your own tooltips and menus, you’ve lost the plot. We need to stop reimplementing bad versions of commoditized bits of UI that overlook accessibility, appropriately generic prop APIs, boundary detection, composability, documentation, testing, etc.
It pains me to see dev teams spending time on rebuilding solved problems. I understand brownfield constraints, but the greenfield situations are particularly painful.
