As of Polymer 0.8 using webcompoments-lite.js is the recommended approach, which means that your total payload with the latest versions becomes ~34KB of gzipped content. That includes Polymer and all web components polyfills. For comparison jQuery 2.1.x is ~28KB gzipped and Angular 1.3.x is ~49KB. Nice work Polymer team!

If I have to build a new website with lots of google maps and layers above it. What would you say polymer or react or both?
