The failed promise of Web Components – Lea Verou
A spot-on summary of where we’ve ended up with web components.
Web Components had so much potential to empower HTML to do more, and make web development more accessible to non-programmers and easier for programmers.

Alas, that’s true. Lea wonders how this can be fixed:
I’m not sure if this is a design issue, or a documentation issue.
I worry that is a cultural issue.
Using a custom element from the directory often needs to be preceded by a ritual of npm flugelhorn, import clownshoes, build quux, all completely unapologetically because “here is my truckload of dependencies, yeah, what”.

TLDR to bring a bit of humor to this thread: I feel like I'm watching a political drama on Netflix and I'm more of a SciFi kinda gal 🖖 my crazy schedule ain't giving me enough time to figure out all these plot holes. Be straight with me or we can't play together!
