> You know I think you have interesting arguments, but at the same time I feel like somehow you are just very anti web components
Yes, I am, hence the arguments.
I'm not the only one against them. There are multiple reasons why even the people who originally modeled their frameworks after web components and were very pro-web components are not at best completely indifferent towards them: Svelte, Vue, Solid JS.
> I understand you're issues with it, but I also think that implementing web standards is a different thing from a framework
Yes, yes, it is a very different thing, and that's why you should be very careful when implementing anything, and listen to people who have to deal with these standards.
People working on these standards would ignore, berate, denigrate and gaslight anyone who would point out glaring and obvious issues with the design of web components. They would throw more and more standards at the problem trying to patch holes that were caused by the design of web components.
In 2022 they finally relented, sat down and wrote what more is needed to bring web components barely on par with existing userland solutions. And admitted that many of the issues that still need to be solved are the direct result of their design.
> But at the same time I also feel like we should be engaged in a positive way with making certain patterns more integrated with the browser
People have tried to do that. As I say, they were ignored, belittled and gaslighted. The people who were the most vocal proponents are now at best indifferent and will not touch web components with a 10-mile stick.
