vdom-util VS preact-custom-element

Joining this thread to say that I, too, have written a very similar function and also use jsxFactory to have JSX support in personal projects. I find that using it along with an extremely simple implementation of a kind of state listener[0] produces something really nice for small projects.

It's a bit like a jquery for the '20s.

I avoid using them, except when having to expose a component to a third party. Then I'd use something like https://github.com/preactjs/preact-custom-element, https://stenciljs.com/docs/custom-elements or https://github.com/solidjs/solid/tree/main/packages/solid-el....

As far as I see, there is nothing that WCs provide which isn't already solved, in a better way, both for devs and users.

And making a framework that use custom elements and shadow DOM for component-based logic and encapsulation seems like a purely philosophical approach to adhere to some vision of "platform purity".
