Hi @danielsogl, any specific reason for removing lodash? I feel like it can bring value to a lot of the components where we need to do array manipulation or deep copies. I agree we can implement our own utilities, but using lodash would be more safer and stable.

The tests seem to pass so it's definitely safe to remove, just want to know your reasoning and any complications you have run into.

@Akshat55 lodash adds a huge footprint to the library bundle. Another issue is that lodash-es is also added as a dependency to the project. You don’t need to use two implementations of the same library, or you could opt for no implementation at all. lodash-es would keep the bundle small.

You're right, my initial plan was to replace lodash-es with just lodash but did not take the overall size into account. lodash-es is not exported with the code, only lodash is, but we can replace this. For now, I think it would be better to replace lodash with lodash-es instead of completely removing it. What are your thoughts?
