For the frontend work that I did, Lit was a godsend. It really helps you build components and apps without getting in the way.

In comparison, Angular is a monster, and React is designed for the old browser capabilities, and is now staying around by inertia, not by inherent quality.

"React is designed for the old browser capabilities and is now staying around by inertia, not by inherent quality." this makes me feel old and I guess React is famous for supporting Internet Explorer /s

React is 12 years old. That’s a significant chunk of anyone’s life.

Web components are 14 years old, and still have the most basic issues and problems that even a 6-month-year-old framework would ashamed to have.

I await your in depth critique on the front page.

You think that in 14 years many critiques from many authors didn't appear on the front page? It's not a big deal to reach the front page of HN.

No worries, web components themselves have a very nice critique in the form of their own community report https://w3c.github.io/webcomponents-cg/2022.html listing all the issues that many people had been taking about for literal years before this report.
