I’m surprised at how bad native widgets are in general. They’re inconsistently styled, ugly, hard to override, and not all that usable. It’s nice that they have built in a11y support, but that’s about all they’ve got going for them.

I wish there were a web standard for modular, customizable, styleable inputs and pickers. It would eliminate a lot of needless wheel-reinventing and also make the web more accessible.
