Just curious Benny; how long have you been working with it?

It just seems almost too good to be true, but then again it's coming from the strong folks at Google, who have more than proved themselves with Angular and other things like the V8 Engine and Node.js.

I liked React in the beginning but not so much now. I think it's highly opinionated.

I've been using web components since polymer 1. You can think of LitElement like polymer 4.

With LitElement and a nice modern toolchain your going to get a very similar developer experience, but with less overhead.
