Ask HN: Should I use Polymer for my next project?

I have been planning to use polymer for next project for frontend and rails on server. I have read the article posted here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7970781 I am still noticing that polymer is slow on FF,Safari etc(almost freezes for 2 secs). However works great on chrome.

Project would be mobile first web app(or may be mobile only). I am also considering Phonegap along with polymer. Is it a good idea to use phonegap? Is it going slow down even further?

Google I/O talks highly about but I don't see much improvement in performance and also I am doubtful if the eco system is mature enough to consider it to ship a product in next 2 months or so?
