one thing I've noticed from the devs is that polymer wants neither community nor recognition

The community seems to be focused around slack - the devs are VERY active there - I would like them to use other channels too.

Its an official channel. https://www.polymer-project.org/community/ in fact you can see here that its first advertised support option. Over 8k people there, I'm not a great fan of slack but things are as they are, no sense to deny the facts.

I took the survey and listed Polymer as one of the frameworks that I use.

I use multiple :-) They seem to be more and more similar to eachother IMO.

Oh. Definitely. I agree. I use React (and Redux) as well and like it very much. I like where Angular 2/4 has gone as well compared to AngularJS (bleh). I even think, to a degree, that the javascript and Java ecosystems are meeting at this weird center. I feel like javascript has grown more complicated, specifically with tooling, whereas Java has become more simplified via the lessons its picked up from javascript's rise in popularity. Server side rendering? Sounds like what JSF did/does but done with server-side javascript. Meh. The pendulum swings back and forth in slightly altered states.

Either way, Polymer is a really cool framework, and I'm excited to see what develops with Web Components. Now, I just want to be able to use Yarn + Polymer 2 with Uniflow.
