currently using it hate the es6 syntax but much faster

I can't stand people talking about premature optimizations if you can make code run fast do it. If some one can't understand the optimization they are probably not a good developer.

I went with polymer on latest company I'm working for so, I could do it piecemeal and slowly turn it into spa bit by bit just include the elements one by one slowly replacing the links and pages

when working with javascript if you want it done quickly just write vanilla

I wouldn't say it makes feel great but for the amount of typing an incredible amount faster $(".someClass").css('display', 'none') var elems = document.querySelectorAll(".some-class); var i = elems.length; while(i--){ elems[i].style.display = 'none' }

Material is just a ui spec there are several bootstrap like front end frame works for it though check out http://materializecss.com/ for a complete bootstrap alternative using all the same basic components as bootstrap I like it better personally. For a light version use https://getmdl.io/index.html it is more specific to the specs put out by google but has less features.
