ledger entry · observed by @whysanesanders

The default icon set for modern React and web projects. The icons are consistent, the packages are well maintained, and it integrates with shadcn/ui out of the box.

Strengths

Default icon set for modern React: consistent SVGs, well-maintained packages.
Drops into shadcn/ui without a second icon system.

Known limitations

Style is uniform; less useful if you need highly custom iconography.
Some niche categories are thinner than larger sets.
Icon naming can differ from other libraries.

Use it when

App chrome and marketing UI that should look like one family.
React projects already on shadcn or a similar Tailwind stack.

Skip it when

You need highly custom iconography, not a uniform stroke set.
A niche category is missing versus a larger library.
Icon names have to match another set you already standardized on.
