Extremely hot take: React’s main contribution was solving Conway’s law for people who write client side JavaScript professionally and mainly in teams; all the technical stuff is incidental.

yeah, except
@seldo’s numbers show that people vastly prefer React to web components :/3 replies 0 retweets 1 like -
Most WC use today isn't represented in NPM, IIRC...but the runtime numbers are strong for both.

And this isn’t just registry data, but also the big surgery they keep doing every year.

Our survey didn't actually ask about web components! The 2018 State of JavaScript survey did: https://2018.stateofjs.com/front-end-frameworks/other-libraries/ … It came in at what appears to be 0.2% usage versus 65% for React.

Lots of the per-feature UMA is public via http://chromestatus.com : https://www.chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/457 … https://www.chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/1689 … https://www.chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/804 … Lots of noise and variability from lots of sources, but for some context: https://www.chromestatus.com/metrics/css/timeline/popularity/242 …

Lots of ways to understand/debate these: - relatively few, very large sites driving WC usage? (e.g. http://yt.com ) - lots of use NOT represented in NPM? (e.g. AMP) - WC usage is compatible with other frameworks, so folks can be "using Preact", but composing CEs

Replying to @slightlylate @seldo and
The last one is undersold, IMO. We've seen ad networks using WC, sites implementing small fragments using them (as part of a design-system), etc. Composition is enabled by metal-level compatibility through DOM.

This is very interesting data, thank you! It would certainly be interesting to break it down by %age of domains, say, rather than %age of traffic.
