First nice video as always. I would recommend developers to give a fresh shot at native web components, and use the browser as the framework. Once you use custom elements, shadow DOM and slots correctly, the component model is very scalable, framework less, and native. Frameworks come and go, but runtimes always need to be learned. #LearnWhatMatters

@rand0mtv660 Good point, but I think it is more about the momentum of a previous belief that the DOM did not have a component model than a fresh assessment of the current state. It was relatively accurate before the customElements/ShadowDOM era, but now, developers would gain a lot by embracing those runtime constructs as their component model. I am not losing hope because we see that happening in the CSS world, where the web dev community is starting to realize the value of modern CSS (CSSGrid/FlexBox/CSSVariables) over CSS Frameworks (.e.g., Boostrap, ...). Anyway, just sharing my perspective from our experience of building big apps with small teams. Btw, Svelte seems to be elegant and well thought out, so it is not a criticism of Svelte.

@rand0mtv660 btw, I also think that the original web components documentation was confusing for app developers, as it looked like you had to have <template> tags in the page for the web components, where in fact it is completely independent.
