Before I get linched, let me just say I love HA. Also, I'm quite new to it, so I might have missed something.
It seems to me that HA team is trying to make a (complex / composite) card for each possible scenario. For example, light card can regulate only brightness. If I want to have a card that has a slider for both brightness and color warmth at the same time, I need to use a tile card with a light entity. But what if I want to have 2 sliders - 1 for brightness, 1 for color warmth and show a few sensor values in the same card? Well, I'm out of luck because HA team hasn't made that specific card yet.
I think a much better approach would be to focus on very basic cards (or rather "components"). For example, a simple slider that can be highly customized and connected to a specific attribute of an entity. my-slider-v2 from HACS would be the perfect example of what I'm talking about. It's a highly customizable but a very basic component that can be used for a bunch of purposes. If I had such basic components I could make ANY combination and style cards myself. Give me a few basic, highly customizable components:
Having these, both HA team can easily build "complex" components on top of the basic ones and HACS community can do the same.
