1. You are not reading those numbers right!

2. Shoelace has far fewer dependencies than Ring.

Let us see,

Shoelace: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@shoelace-style/shoelace?activ...

7 user dependencies

46 dev dependencies

VS

Ring: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@jetbrains/ring-ui?activeTab=d...

60 user dependencies o____O

100 dev dependencies o__O

Also the person building Shoelace has consistently been an early adopter of best practices/standards.

I believe a single person with taste and knowledge can build better components than yet another team chasing after latest 'trends' under time pressure.
