What is the advantage of using Salesforce's base Lightning components?

Using Salesforce's base Lightning components is advantageous primarily because they are pre-built and customizable while adhering to Salesforce's design standards. This means developers can leverage a collection of UI elements that are consistent, reliable, and designed to meet common use cases. These components save time, as they come with built-in functionality that simplifies the development process and ensures a coherent look and feel across the application.

Furthermore, since these components follow established design guidelines, they help maintain user experience consistency, making it easier for users to navigate and interact with the Salesforce platform. Customizing these components is also straightforward, allowing developers to tailor them to specific business needs without starting from scratch.

Although custom components may offer flexibility and functionality, base Lightning components combine both customization potential and adherence to design standards, making them a practical choice for many development scenarios.
