    Agreed, I totally love web components. And there’s no vanilla way to do them elegantly. (And that’s a real tragedy.)

    I just have an aversion to overengineering things. The vast majority of websites are predominantly read only, and would work better as a simple (mostly) static site.

      I just have an aversion to overengineering things.

      This is me exactly ^

      Currently a team mate is rewriting something I built which was simple and worked, and was just slow. It’s an internal tool, and what we’re doing is expected to be slow. So it annoys me a lot that they are now making it needlessly complex when the way I did it was not ideal in performance but worked. The service is gonna be used like 30 times per week. He’s gonna spend a week and add complexity/maintenance to save $15 a month in cloud computing… I hate it.
