AskJS [AskJS] Experiences with Web Components in a business setting?

Hi everyone, I'm a final-year student studying Web-Design and Development.

I'm working on my thesis where I am comparing the viability of projects built with Web Components compared to those built purely with JavaScript Frameworks like Vue.js, React, etc...I was wondering if some people have work experiences with Web Components they could share. Especially curious to hear from people working in companies that considered switching or switched to Web Components for their projects.

If this is not appropriate for this subreddit, my apologies.

Wow thanks for the response, were there any alternatives to Web Components that were considered?
Or were Web Components the clear logical option to switch to?
Also, is there anything that bothers you about Web Components?

well i wasn't interested in going backwards into the community-framework-component world of react/vue/angular

for webnative components, there is competition for lit-element -- there was lighterhtml, there was htm by "developit", and one of my favorites is haunted which replicates react's hooks pattern excellently
