Currently working on a project that uses Chakra, I honestly don't know why we decided to use it. The build size is kind of big and I really can't justify dependency on framer motion, most of the animations offered by chakra can be easily achieved with regular css. Though theme for each component can be overridden it still leaks full customization like you can redefine component like in shadcn/ui. Anyway dealing with what I have, any other thoughts?

Customizable Themes:
One aspect of Chakra UI that sets it apart is its robust support for customizable themes. While other UI libraries offer predefined themes, Chakra UI empowers developers to create their own unique design systems tailored to their specific project requirements. With Chakra UI's theming capabilities, developers can easily define custom color palettes, typography styles, spacing, and more, allowing for seamless integration of brand identities and consistent user experiences across applications. This flexibility in theming makes Chakra UI a preferred choice for developers seeking to align their front-end designs with brand guidelines and aesthetics.
