The problem is very accurately described as people trying to use every framework and every library all at once. Too many developers are neglecting their knowledge of the base language. JavaScript has become incredible in recent years, but you'll still find new projects being built incorporating jquery.
I have tried react redux and seriously people, after all your badgering and all of your carrying on. I still prefer vanilla es2015+ with typescript. I can do everything you can do sans MBs of extraneous client side code. I also have more control.
Use your tools for what they are useful for, stick close to the metal. You'll save yourself tons of grief.
- bjacobel 10y agoReact + ReactDOM + Redux is a little over 50kb minified and gzipped. I'm not saying that's nothing, but "MBs" is a strawman.
- jyriand 10y agoUsing vanilla js becomes a problem once you start building something bigger than a simple web page. Eventually you will end up with your own framework and new developers still have to understand how it works etc. It's totally fine if you are expert js developer and now how to structure and design your code for maintainability. But few hacks here and there, and you might end up with a mess.
