- andybak 10y agoOut of the two simplicities one has an actual impact on usage.
- thatswrong0 10y agoI guess what I really meant to say is that you could levy the exact same concerns on many other libraries / frameworks. None of that is specific to React. I guess I was also assuming that if the OP was considering using React in the first place, that they were doing more with jQuery than just minor interactivity improvements. But I suppose your concerns are valid if that assumption isn't true. I'm thinking app, not blog.
- andybak 10y agoMaybe he was but I do worry that anyone new to front-end is being pushed towards frameworks rather than being told to start with the simplest approach possible. I saw a comment from someone a few weeks ago who knew angular but had never used jQuery. I was rather baffled how that had come to pass!
