> edge case use ... I've ... for me ... I ... straw man

This is why I hate engaging into any arguments with proponents and apologists of web components.

Any concern and criticism is brushed away as non-existent and insignificant. Even if the actual people who develop this and push this into the browsers are now marking them as not only valid, but a significant problem.

But sure, do keep telling yourslef that theonly reason why more people don't use them is because people don't like the name "connectedCallback"

> you may want to double check your understanding of frameworks use and embrace of WCs.

Please do this yourself. Outside of frameworks and libraries that explicitly advertise themselves as being 100% based on web components (like lit and stencil) almost no one uses them as the foundation. They may consume them, and they may have a way to compile components to them, but almost none actually use them.

And yes, keep telling yourself it's because of "connectedCallback" naming.
