Lit maintainer here. I should be going to bed, but I'll answer any questions if people have any!

Not sure why Lit showed up on the front page tonight :)

Curious which web platform features are missing that are preventing Web components to complete with React(for application development not widgets)?

Another pain in the ass is the fact web components are registered globally. Good luck marrying this with npm dependency hell where two transitive dependencies both import a button.

The good part of react and friends is it's just javascript and the class is imported and referenced normally, not with a weak string-binding-through-registry kind of way.

Now add types to the mix and shadow dom and it brings constant problems without any upside.
