they aren't ready. the standards aren't even ready for polymer to polyfill for the browsers to implement.

you need to be patient. open platforms are a very long term play.

i saw they reviewed a few of the polyfills for 2.0 inclusion, and there wasn't a lot that was really capable of being used yet, for a variety of reason.

I believe open platforms will win eventually, but it's not going to be tomorrow. it will be maybe 5-10 years from now. Just be glad there's movement.

10 years from now, we may not even be relevant as a species. I'm not kidding. Its unlikely it will happen that soon, but I actually believe that we will have super-intelligent AI within 4 decades at the latest. I think it is entirely within the realm of possibility for that to happen within 10 or 15 years.

I am looking at next year or maybe the year after that to see a massive surge in popularity and use of Polymer.
