As a browser engineer, let me be suuuper clear: I've seen this be face-palmingly bad *more often than not*. It requires all the build fu be perfect to not be a net perf disaster.

So, yes, when the build stuff is all lined up (and you picked the right system), it can be net-neutral. But is this better for users *on average*? Hrmmmmmm

I'm in the "it depends on your situation and requirements" camp. Mostly bothered by the tone of the discussions I've seen lately and what I perceive as dogma. (I might also just be cranky)

I get why it can seem like old-guard trying to gatekeep. I'm no fan of CSS (in general) and grok how this can help. Just saying help vs. hurt is currently -- at a minimum -- a contended question.

No man, I just hate global variables ;-) But seriously, Shadow DOM is the answer to CSS in the same way that "structured programming" is the answer to assembly.

Yep. It's why Shadow DOM matters.

As I've said frequently: I don't care how you write your styles, but for the love of everything holy, don't bake them into your script bundles for deployment.

Can still clone style blocks from elsewhere. Imports were better at this (had other, fixable, problems tho).
