> My impression previously was that it brings more power back to native HTML, and lets you extends HTML elements by defining your own modular custom components instead of doing so in JS the `modern` way.

Curious what you feel defining a custom component in the browser would look like, if not with JS?

Well, my impression was that it's a revolutionary hot technology that only recent browsers support. Something like the browser doing the "SSR" natively on the fly before rendering the page DOM.

Anyway like I mentioned, I didn't get the chance to play with it and understand its purpose. Misconception -> higher expectations -> disappointment.
