> in which case you're limited to what that framework provides (and it won't be as robust as any non-wc framework).

Is there something inherently wrong with wc that stops robust frameworks being built on top of it? Have you tried actual framworks built on wc like Lit for example.

[catapart]

No, I'm saying that if you use a non-wc framework, it will be more robust than any wc framework. Not because it's non-wc, but because it's more mature. Lit is mature, but it's not more mature than React, and it definitely has less contribution to it than react.

It's definitely possible to make a comprehensive web component library. Something that could compete with React. But, as far as I know, it doesn't currently exist (and would be a huge task to achieve with... no discernible reason to do it?).

Sorry but you're mixing up terms. A "web component library" would be something not compete with React, because React is a web component framework. The frameworks is whats used to build the component libraries e.g I think material design has one built on top of React.

I'm sorry you're having a hard time understanding. "library" just means "package of code". A framework - of any kind - is a library. Not all libraries are frameworks, but a web component framework would absolutely be a library. And since it is a library of web components, it can be called a "web component library", correctly. A library of react web components is also a web component library, for the same reasons.

I'm not mixing anything up, and I'm not being unclear. I could have used the same terms, but that I didn't does not make me incorrect. You're just splitting hairs. I'm sorry that seemed like it was worth your time.
