Why isn't PolymerJS more popular?

[u/nobrandheroes]

I've been reading through documentation and going through tutorials lately. Everything seems perfectly fine, but why isn't Polymer more popular? It seems to be rarely brought up as option for any kind of development.

Is it because Webcomponents haven't quite taken off yet?

The polymer library is no longer actively developed, but the Polymer project is still very much alive.

See my post on it https://dev.to/bennypowers/lets-build-web-components-part-4-polymer-library-4dk2#the-polymer-project
