Look at the thread you've created here - I'm arguing that the article minimizes the antipattern cost they impose, and your response brings up React as if it somehow changes that.
Yes, I previously mentioned the “perfect as the enemy of good” argument.
Like I already said, I use and like Svelte. But the vast majority of the web dev ecosystem uses React. Web components would be better than everyone using React. Arguably everyone using Svelte could be better still but that’s a separate debate.
> your response brings up React as if it somehow changes that.
It does. Because the industry clearly has no problem with a large upfront cost, given that it imposes one today. Web components would be better than what we have today even if it isn’t the ideal.
The article we’re discussing is titled “Web Components are okay”, not “Web Components are better than Svelte for webdevladder and their users”.
