i would say a few lucky ones have the luxury of working on projects, where they can say lets ignore the IE users. Most of us can't !!

And i completely agree with your last point. The reason we've been exploring web-components was because we had developed a component library based on Angular 1, and had a really painful time making it upgradable to Angular 2, and realized in the process that it was a mistake to write component library closely coupled to any framework. While i am really excited about web-components, but their current state disappoints me.

It's kind of weird, pretty much same companies are the standards committee, browser makers and framework writers... probably thats why we have multiple ways to write web-component like things using propriety technologies, but not much progress still in writing web-components natively based on the specs.
