Why did Google create Polymer? Google isn't using it. This is almost the same 'problem' with "AngularJS by Google", it's almost never used by Google.
Edit: The reason I like React more is the fact that Facebook uses it in a high traffic production setting.
Edit 2: I think the whole Javascript (or framework) fatigue is just a 'transition problem'. Old tools are getting replaced by new tools, causing confusion..
- butabah 11y agoChrome's PDF viewer is written in Polymer
- sehr 11y agoYouTube Gaming & the new Google Play Music are both built with Polymer, both moderately complex consumer facing sites.
- ihsw 11y agoI have been extremely impressed with Google Play Music, I use their web client on a daily basis. I did not know about YouTube Gaming, it looks very interesting.
- mkawia 11y agoGoogle Play was poorly made https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=itdisplayswhateversattachedtheid https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=itdisplayswh...
- sehr 11y agoKinda beside the point, and I'm not sure the play store is using the same tech stack as play music. Two different things

- eyko 11y agoI believe people generally mean that Google isn't using it for any of their core products: Gmail, Search, Google+, Photos, YouTube, Google Play, Calendar, Drive, Maps... none are built with Angular.
- doczoidberg 11y agoadwords is not a google core product? the angular team works together with the adwords team
- jbigelow76 11y agoPfft, Adwords might be responsible the lion's share of Google's 522 billion dollar market valuation, but to call it "core"? That's a bit of a stretch.
- rjayatilleka 11y agoUm, that was sarcasm right? You might want to add a /s then.
- eyko 11y agoAdwords was not in that list (madewithangular) so I simply supposed it wasn't made with angular. Neither is Analytics, or any of the tools I use from Google. If Adwords is Angular then that's one big project on Angular (clap clap clap). However, all I ever heard was that they were planning to move to Angular2 on Dart. I wonder how that worked out. edit: just editing to add that I´m not doubting that Google is using Angular2 in some projects, like their internal CRM (Green Tea or whatever). I simply wanted to point out that it's not used _extensively_ in their main consumer facing sites - the ones you get links to when you click on their apps dropdown menu.
- Zikes 11y agoGoogle is using (or has used) Polymer in Google Music, Santa Tracker, Google I/O Web App, chromestatus.com, and likely a few others I'm forgetting.
- grumblestumble 11y agoGoogle has been using Angular 1.x for DoubleClick since 2012 (http://angularjs.blogspot.com/2012/06/doubleclick-super-powered-by-angularjs.html http://angularjs.blogspot.com/2012/06/doubleclick-super-powe...). I think it's fair to say that it's one of their most important products.
- ebidel 11y agoNon-comprehensive list of Google properties and Chrome-team efforts using: https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/wiki/Who's-using-Polymer%3F#google-properties https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/wiki/Who's-using-Polymer%... Obviously doesn't include stuff in the works :)
- johnkpush 11y agoIt's important to note that Google does give it's developers the freedom to choose their own tools. If a team isn't excited about Angular or Polymer, it's not forced on them. If I was building a webapp that was going to have hundreds of millions of users, I'd think twice about grabbing an off the shelf JS library.
- dev360 11y ago> Javascript (or framework) fatigue is just a 'transition problem' Exactly, same thing happened early on in Ruby/rails community.
