My point is this collection of libs and tools exist only to fix a flawed solution called React. If you need that much tooling to make React "just work" then React doesn't "just work", React is a trade off and just pushes complexity back to the server which goes against the philosophy of SPAs ( light weight servers , "fat" clients ). I mean why bother when you can just fetch HTML fragments from the server with AJAX directly ? That's basically the same thing as using GraphQL instead of a REST API.
- kccqzy 11y agoI would think otherwise: it's not that React itself is a flawed solution, but that it points out flaws in other parts of our stack, such as REST. I'm still writing REST APIs at work, but given a chance to start again I would have chosen something more GraphQL-like.
