I used to write all my webapps in pure lit webcomponents but eventually moved onto react

Can you explain what made you move? I'm about to start a project and was looking at lit to do it.

I was a huge webcomponents evangelist and tbh i wanted to vomit for the first few months of react just based on the fact how antithetical to web standards it is. But I wasn't able to pay the bills with lit work. And now the react ecosystem is much more comprehensive even compared to the polymer/bower days. I'm happy I did webcomponents and can go back to it if I need anything significantly lightweight.
