The front-end view layer wars are over. React won, and it's the standard now. If something is going to supplant it, it's going to have to be not just marginally better, but 10X better for every use case.
Also note that the React world is bigger than just the browser (React native has been out for a year now.) Contrast that with the fact that Polymer is only a browser technology, and an unpopular one at that (I've only heard of it once and will probably never hear of or think about it again.)
- Capira 11y agoWhat makes you so certain? How can React be superior to Web Component APIs that are baked into the platform?

- saurshaz 11y agoWhat an answer. brilliantly summed up. Although - not happy with the past year's situation, react is the VHS right now. I would stay hopeful of the future CDs to come out though. :-)
