One of the linked articles [1] makes an interesting claim that feels like a reach to me, but I'd be interested in hearing HN's take on it:
> At this point React is legacy technology, like Angular. Lots of people are still using it, but nobody can quite remember why. The decision-makers in organisations who chose to build everything with React have long since left. People starting new projects who still decide to build on React are doing it largely out of habit.
I'm going to withhold my own thoughts about that quote, cause I'm curious what everyone else thinks.
Wrt. Web Components, I played around with Web Components about half a decade ago and they felt promising but not ready for prime time yet. They were pretty messy and felt like they did a poor job of encapsulation. (At least at the time.) I haven't looked at them recently, but the code examples in these articles look much better (and cleaner) than what I remember.
