Thanks for feedback, I just edited to include the reason I wrote this:
>Your post includes a lot of misconceptions commonly held in the React community, so I wanted to take a moment to clarify them for everyone else who has the same concerns.
I didn't reply to many similar posts before, but I felt like this is a good opportunity to jump in and provide some clarifications because there are some factual misconceptions in the post. When unaddressed, these tend to keep spreading and get a life of their own.
Also, we do take this feedback to the heart. In fact we spent time developing Create React App precisely thanks to feedback like this.
>If one doesn't want to acknowledge that one's technology is not for everyone.
We totally acknowledge React is not for everyone! I touched on this in the last paragraph, but it wasn’t the focus of my article. I do try to stress it when comparing React to other libraries in general, but this seemed like a React-specific post.
- dentemple 10y agoThank you for your efforts! As a React developer, I also raised an eyebrow at the misconceptions given in the original article. (The worst, IMO, was definitely the part regarding Create React App and the overall toolchain). I appreciate your take on the article and felt that you did a good job focusing on these issues, whereas someone like myself would've been a bit more biting in my response.
