Some interesting thoughts from Jeremy Keith about his concerns with Web Components:
Compare Service Workers to web components.
First of all, ask the question “who benefits from this technology?” In the case of Service Workers, it’s the end users. They get faster websites that handle network failure better. In the case of web components, there are no direct end-user benefits. Web components exist to make developers lives easier. That’s absolutely fine, but any developer convenience gained by the use of web components can’t come at the expense of the user—that price is too high.
