pwa-starter-kit

Absolutely, because it just looks more like HTML. It becomes much more apparent as you have attributes, larger static sections of templates, and styles. Check out this app component in PWA Starter Kit: https://github.com/Polymer/pwa-starter-kit/blob/master/src/c... Or the template from the js-framework-benchmarks: https://github.com/krausest/js-framework-benchmark/blob/mast... Or the template from one of the wired-elements: https://github.com/wiredjs/wired-elements/blob/master/packag... Given HTML-specific syntax-highlighting and large templates, I really think the HTML format is easier to read.

Check out https://github.com/Polymer/pwa-starter-kit/wiki. It uses Redux and LitElement (https://github.com/Polymer/lit-element)

It's a browser spec, so yeah browser-only. Electron is browser-based (Chrome), so web-components can be used there. Check out https://github.com/Polymer/pwa-starter-kit/wiki for concrete examples using LitElement (https://github.com/Polymer/lit-element)

I'm still super gung-ho about web components. The progressive browsers are committed to making it happen. The picture is not so bleak for custom elements: https://caniuse.com/#feat=custom-elementsv1 Firefox also just announced that Shadow DOM arrived in a nightly: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1460069 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17172613 Contrary to popular belief, you can start using web components WITH just custom elements and WITHOUT shadow DOM! https://twitter.com/rob_dodson/status/961780022628331520 I jumped onto this bandwagon early and struggled with Polymer 2 and HTML imports (ugh!). Now they have made the same realizations and moving forward LitElement will lead the charge toward usable and lightweight web components: https://www.polymer-project.org/blog/2018-05-02-roadmap-upda... https://github.com/Polyme
