It's a WIP for now, I still need to build an entire proof-of-concept site using only WC. Either way, feedback is always welcome in the vanillawc/vanillawc issues.

I've heard of every-layout, guess I need to take a closer look.

A lot of the "WC aren't supported" talk is just FUD from the framework ecosystem. Specifically, React devs love to trash WC b/c React is fundamentally incompatible w/ Standard Web Components.

The reality. The latest Edge evergreen switched to using the same rendering engine as Chrome. Ie Edge should now support everything Chrome does.

The last major blocker is IE, which is a PITA for everybody using ES6, ES modules, CSS Flex/Grid.

Interesting, thanks.

With regard to IE, I set out my current thoughts in a short Twitter thread, culminating in a link to Sam Thorogood's excellent What To Expect When You're Expecting To Drop IE11 on this here site.
