      When I helped start the Web Components effort, a goal was to end framework wars at the component level. About time:https://twitter.com/domenic/status/769344873027829760 …

      The value of frameworks is moving up the stack. Time to shed the "my component model is a special snowflake" bloat.

      ...and no, this doesn't mean that Web Components are all-singing, all-dancing. Some fidelity with current practice *will* be lost. That's OK

      ...the difference in weight & ecosystem-wide compatibility are overwhelmingly positive. They outweigh local benefits of alternatives.

      ^^^, BTW, is why it was also a good idea to push Promises into the language (despite the massive personal costs to @domenic and myself).

      Global benefits are just that: hard to see from your particular patch. But they are also real and they do matter.

      So, in a world where the world's most popular computers have flaky network connections and slow CPUs, anything that sheds JS is _golden_.

      If your framework of choice isn't moving to Web Components for the leaf nodes, it's carrying too much weight in 2016.

      Frameworks without a path to Web Components are the 2016 equivalent of systems that still use <table> + <img> for rounded corners.

          : huh? You can use each of the pieces independently, and it absolutely interoperates. If your FW genereates DOM, it can use WC.

          Which is it say, it's cool. You can do that. It'll still work. Just don't expect for anyone to think of your thing as "modern" or "fast".
