Still the same issue though. What about Svelte? What about solid? What about mithril?

I know this might seem like a "who cares" sort of thing since the industry has standardized on the three listed, but I find all three overkill for a lot of things and, for example, keep my small projects in Mithril. But then I'm hit with either using Construct UI (which is honestly ok, this is all internal stuff), or having to make all the components myself.

What makes it such an impossibility for production? Even if, as in the case of Ionic, they provide web components but also wrap them up for React, Vue and Angular.

It is that sort of thing and it breaks my heart that this is the case.

And yet, supporting solutions that would work with any front end solution and do so well without death by committee is some ways off, if not outright impossible.

It's very much the same way how I love Firefox but when >95% of your userbase is on Chrome, you need to pay additional attention to testing and compatibility against it.

It's also very much how many of the SaaS solutions or even self-hostable tools and such might have integrations for most of the popular languages/frameworks/libraries out there, yet keep the niche ones unsupported due to a lack of market share.

So for now, I'll just take what I can get, in lieu of better options.
