I think this is the disconnect. While Basic *does* have components, it’s not *just* components. It’s also the Basic building blocks *for* components which might or might not be part of Basic.
The comparison we keep using is lego. While Basic does have some pieces of lego pre-constructed, it also has the basic pieces which can be put together in different ways by other component sets. > On May 10, 2018, at 12:17 PM, Carlos Rovira <carlosrov...@apache.org> wrote: > > Jewel is like Basic in terms of design, all based on composition, beads, > and strands. and simply since it is a UI library, should not depend on > another UI library that does exactly the same.
