The thing I enjoy the most about writing UIs with Vue 3 is that I'm not forced into JavaScript's insane OOP mechanics, and can use plain old functions without concerning myself with incantations like `this.foo.bind(this)`. Web Components embrace JS's OO system whole-hog, and well, they can keep it. I'm also not too big on having to deal with things like "shadow DOM", which to me seems like the kind of implementation detail frameworks are supposed to abstract away in the first place.

Web Components seem a nice compilation target for other frameworks, but working with them directly is a hair shirt I'm still not willing to wear.
