I want to try out lit-element to see if it will end up meeting our needs on Chops. 

If it is mostly just raw web components, I believe it should be pretty interoperable with our old Polymer services or anything else, so I hope they will allow us to have a smooth incremental upgrade process. 

I want to try rewriting the ChopsUI elements that are currently used in existing services as web components in the near future to try to help us figure out what the future of ChopsUI should look like.
