The world needs more people like you. Thank you.
I have a very varied workload which includes both complex web applications and content driven sites (very basic, accomplishable-by-WordPress marketing sites). I had a client move their very basic portfolio + blog site to a new developer who rewrote it from scratch. The new site has a loading / splash page before the real site displays. It's entirely JS driven and ticks all the boxes for bad implementation (badly implemented fake links, no use of the history API, bad accessibility.etc).
I don't see how this is not a step backwards. Nothing was gained here except for some resume-driven development. Frankly, it strikes me as something that inexperienced developers do because they aren't aware of a world outside of React (or at the very least consider it to be obsolete).
