I have been working on polymer based projects for some time(8 months).

My opinion is that, polymer is good for specific use cases such as- Creating leaf level components, Reusing components around multiple projects.

BUT....

Building complete applications in Polymer has been a painful experience

I have at times encountered critical 'library bugs', which haven't been fixed yet, we had to use hacky workarounds and forked repos with fixes. Check 'p1-backlog' in github

Less control over elements because of two-way-data binding, I guess I should use redux with it. But I'm still a bit confused about certain aspects of adding redux into the mix

The application end up really heavy

I wish I had a bit more control over vulcanize
