Did... did he really call React "minimalist"?! I'm not sure this guy has ever attempted to build any actual webapps with React, because that's certainly not a term that anyone would use that had.
- rk06 10y agoI bet 10$ that he can not even do "hello world" in react.
- brian_c 10y agoYou can probably use 90% of React's functionality with like, four or five functions and four or five component lifestyle methods. What's not minimal about that?
- bryanlarsen 10y agoReact by itself is nice, clean, minimilistic, et cetera. Nobody uses React by itself. Add in ES6 transpiling, a data system (redux & friends), server side rendering, routing, and now it's complicated. jQuery doesn't include any of that stuff, either.
- ergo14 10y agolike... you almost end up writing your own angular/aurelia/otherframework ;-)
- mercer 10y ago> jQuery doesn't include any of that stuff, either. That's a really important point. I still often use jQuery because I don't need 'any of that stuff' and for a bunch of different reasons (other developers, client already using jQuery, etc.). But it's surprising how often these days my clients want/need stuff where jQuery would not be ideal and React can take care of it all.
