Question: I’ve done Stencil in the past and quite liked it. I especially liked how helpful the community is on e.g. slack. Now I’m experimenting with lit-element. My initial expression is that it is not as fully fledged out as Stencil is. Do you have any experience with either lit-element or Salesforce’s lightning web components and are able to compare them?

Been using Stencil for the past year or so as a way of extending our Angular app with client-specific apps (eventually looking to open this up to clients to upload their own components / apps).

Overall it's done a good job but I still find the build system somewhat esoteric (there are a number of different approaches and it took some effort to figure out the right one for our use case).

I have noticed development has slowed down over the past couple months: https://github.com/ionic-team/stencil/graphs/commit-activity

Hoping it's more a case of it approaching maturity as opposed to it being neglected...

I have researched Stencil a few times and agree it seems to be like you say 'the real deal'. In time I might end up there but going to take the long way :)
