Web Components were crafted for jQuery world.

    $("#datepicker").datepicker()
Custom elements resolves problem we had with XHR HTML response, it instantiates automatically. Problem solved. Widgets were popular and easily broken by CSS, solved by Shadow DOM.

Shadow DOM does not solve any real life problem.

sDOM is spherical horse in a vacuum, my pardon.

I'd appreciate any details from anonymous downvoters.

Any sample that can be done by sDOM and is not feasible without it and associated machinery?
