Can you elaborate? I naturally gravitate towards separating code into components in a framework-agnostic sense - React was very intuitive to me and devs I've talked to seem to feel the same way. Writing huge atomic pieces of HTML is nothing but a huge headache; it's awful to maintain as it results in copious amounts of redundancy / tech debt.
- sheeshkebab 9y agoperhaps I was being impatient observing a group of web developers and designers trying to jump into a large React project, practically with no prior experience in react (although familiar with Angularjs, html, css, js, dom) - however the fact is that after 3 months of dev, the react codebase turned into an absolute mess - albeit following best practices around branches, testing, pull request reviews, continuous delivery to staging environments etc... The main issues seemed to do with global state management favored by Redux (hello global variables, I thought we were over you years ago :) ) and tendency to jam html into react components designed as screens, rather than components.
