I am actually wondering how many readers of the blog post rolled their eyes here. I am not saying that React is the best thing ever; there may be different arguments against using it, but man, this "CSS in JS" (or, alternatively, "HTML in JS") argument is not even funny anymore.
I would have discarded this as a meaningless complaint coming from a hardcore backend developer who is repeating the principles of single responsibility and separation of concerns he has heard in older days and has not yet had a chance to realize that a component is no lesser way of thinking about separation of concerns than an html or a css file. But judging by the appearance of the blog site, the author is a frontend developer, with pretty decent skills. I am confused.
- Clubber 9y agoAs a mostly back end developer, snazzy front end templates are either cheap or free.
- NetOpWibby 9y agoThat's just one of the things that I don't like about React. I guess I'm old-school? I like Handlebars, Sass, and of course HTML/CSS/JS and I do use JS frameworks (Express/Feathers).
