I'm curious how people think React is overkill when it's entire API pretty much boils down to one or two functions.
React is the simplest, most powerful library I've used in my life. It's the community that (often misguidedly) adds the complexity.
- jaequery 9y agoIt's the React ecosystem. People didn't come up with the term javascript fatigue for nothing.
- mercer 9y agoOverkill might not have been the best choice of words. What I meant was that because React is so simple, it can be a lot more work for relatively little gain in a smaller app. It's same reason I used to often still go for jQuery. But I agree, I love the simplicity and it fits well with my rapid descent into being a functional programming weenie.
