  1. I have been using native web components for a few years now and I will never go back to frameworks. They are a completely unassay layer. ..of course I have always preferred component development over frameworks regardless of the platform.

  2. We have been using and supporting Web Components in ING Bank for years, we published our own open source library called Lion (https://github.com/ing-bank/lion). All our apps and websites are based on Web Components.

    Companies which use Web Components include Microsoft (https://www.fast.design/), SalesForce (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/component-library/documentation/en/lwc), Adobe (https://opensource.adobe.com/spectrum-web-components/) and IBM (https://www.carbondesignsystem.com/), amongst many others.

    Sites such as Open Web Components (https://open-wc.org/) and Modern Web (https://modern-web.dev/) offers a wide array of developer support, guides, helpers, etc to get started and keep learning.

    I firmly believe Web Components are the future of web front-end development. However you can use Web Components TODAY to create accessible, safe and fast websites and web apps.

  3. All of the issues mentioned here about web components apply as well to the various frameworks!
    I have been using web components for years, and it is far more stable than frameworks.

  4. How do you tackle SEO issues that come with the introduction of the shadow-dom?
    The problem of pre-rendering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKgF0rf009c
    Besides Google no other search engine executes JS and even with Google there is only a “potential” 2nd crawl that might pick up your JS dependant content.
    How can we as devs. encounter this problem, using web-components?
