I wish web based UI-toolkit creators would focus on WebComponents. They can easily be used as leaf-elements in almost any framework.

+1 for web components and Polymer https://beta.webcomponents.org/
A lot of people go on about Polymer, but no one actually uses it?
Hm, some of the biggest enterprises in the world and industry leaders use it.

I'm not sure why this is repeated on HN all over and over.

BTW, Chrome browser's: PDF reader, download listing, new settings are Polymer afaik.

Google uses https://gaming.youtube.com/

IBM uses https://console.ng.bluemix.net/catalog/

Theres tons more. Btw. "main" youtube is also switching to polymer.
I tried it, but it was too clunky for my taste.

SkateJS seems a bit nicer and also produces WebComponents.

The thinking of - Learn once write everywhere does not apply to WebComponents.
