Comparing plain React with Angular and Aurelia is completely useless. You cannot write a big serious application with Form Validation, Data Fetching, Testing, etc, just with React itself. A fair comparison would be to write a whole "real world" project and then see what parts you have to use and learn to be able to write a full React application.
- janwillemb 9y agoComparing is never useless. How else would you discover differences? For someone like me, who is in the same process of finding the right js framework, articles like this do help. But you probably mean: the comparison excluded some crucial details.
- SebastianM 9y ago> But you probably mean: the comparison excluded some crucial details. Exactly. You have to compare these kind of frameworks/libraries in "real world" situations and not just build two subpages and create some simple components to form an opinion. Real world single page applications need much more than just the view layer and a router.
- awjr 9y agoPlease please go read the article before making this type of statement.
- SebastianM 9y agoI did, no worries :)
- stickfigure 9y agoOP here. Perhaps you overlooked my comment in the intro that my spike solution was the first few screens of my real-world app? The code samples in the article are distilled/simplified from the spike solutions. My React spike became my real app, and structurally looks pretty much the same (even 2 months of dev later). If you think there are some important concerns that I left out (and I'm sure there are), please be specific so that I/we can learn.

- platz 9y agoThat may be your criteria for evaluation, but it may not be everyone's criteria. Second, is he claiming to speak objectively for everyone? No, it's an anecdote/opinion - says it right in the title.
- pluma 9y agoAuthor didn't compare "plain React". Author compared React with React Router (and possibly Redux/whatever for state). Did you only read the part about the documentation?

- cmdkeen 9y agoI doubt the author was using Redux if he was praising React and Typescript...
- BigJono 9y agoThis is just blatantly false. I've got several apps in production using nothing but React, React-Router and a unit testing library. In-fact I'd posit that it's easier to write good, maintainable code using a minimal toolset than it is to cram a bunch of rubbish in there that dictates your software's architecture. I've seen more people shoot themselves in the foot with things redux and redux-thunk than I have seen use them properly.
