> faster / more performant

Unfortunately that part isn't guarenteed and ultimately why I moved on. See Web Components are DOM Elements and carry all the weight of such. While you'd think using the platform would be more performant, using even less of the platform is more so. Frameworks can have lighter component abstractions which means even greater performance.

In same way no one really complains about React performance, no one will really complain here. But the truth of the matter is a specific solution will out perform a general one, and WebComponents are almost always going to be the loser here.
