      : e.g., many Google properties are continuing to carry around huge amounts of legacy-compat junk.

      : we don't see frameworks making breaking changes to re-architect for new constraints frequently.

      : how many years after rAF was available was jQuery continuing to use crappy setTimeout animations?

      I can’t speak for other frameworks, but I’m surely thinking constantly about how Vue can adapt to the new constraints

      : an analogy: for a few years after CSS got rounded corners, Google properties were sending tables w/ bg images for rounding.

      Loading seems to be taking a while.
