I realize you can set properties, obviously. Those are not the same as using attributes, which is what React's props are more equivalent to. e.g. you can't do <my-button onClick={...some function here...} />. So using it does indeed suck the same way using normal DOM elements sucks: you need a reference to the created node, addEventListener, etc.

That's what makes the grandparent's statement incorrect:

> The only difference between if this were a web component vs a React component is that the consumer would not capitalize the name. Instead of `<Button appearance="primary">` they would do `<evergreen-button appearance="primary">`. That's it.

^ wrong.
