> The idea that people don't want some sort of improved modularity, encapsulation, reusability, interop etc I think is wrong.

And web components are an extremely shitty half-baked near-solution to any of those.

Still not sure what you are attacking - is it just custom-elements or does that include js modules etc?

  • We're in the discussion under an article about web components. So, web components. Which I literally explicitly called out in my comment.

    • Hmm...

      So what do you think web components are then?

      There was an initial proposal called web components that comprised a whole slew of enabling technologies - like custom elements, like modules, templates etc. Some of the proposals never got implemented.

      The closest single thing to web components is custom-elements ( with optional shadow dom and optional slots ).

      So is that what you are objecting to?
