Well, you can't just drop them in a React application just yet...



You can do that for preact,vue,svelte,angular and others. That should tell something.


Maybe. But in my case, that tells me that "Web Components is compatible with any framework" isn't necessarily true.


That makes no sense, they are compatible with react, you just need to write more code to use them. https://custom-elements-everywhere.com/ I find it interesting that you blame WC not react devs for the fact they don't want to improve your experience.


Ah sorry, I meant to say "Web Components can just be dropped into any framework" isn't true. Note that you can also use React components in Angular or whatever if you just write more code to use them, but that just doesn't provide enough value to me to overcome the downside.

Also note that I'm not "blaming" anyone; just explaining why it's not worth it for me at this point in time to adopt Web Components in my React applications. I very much like the idea of Web Components no longer making us reliant on the web standards process to finally add things like date pickers or typeahead components, but I just don't think it's there yet.
