Yep, the criticisms are just bad. "Attributes are strings", seriously? Uh, DOM elements in the browser have these things called JavaScript attributes… > Shadow DOM makes it hard to theme your app. Polymer uses CSS custom properties for this and it's not even hard, it's pretty cool, it's like you're making a CSS API for theming <your-element>.

> Uh, DOM elements in the browser have these things called JavaScript attributes… Could you please link to a reference? I've never heard of JavaScript attributes and I can't find any reference on MDN.

  I think that person is talking about the HTMLElement interface is essentially a JS object and how you can set properties on it. e.g. element.foo = 123; vs element.setAttribute('foo', '123');

    Exactly. I accidentally wrote "attributes" instead of "properties" :D
