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
