Most of the complexity is inside of React, not in the app. Your components look pretty much the same — except that you have more control over scheduling when you need to.
- dana321 8y agoReact trades simplicity of certain things such as dom manipulation, and makes it difficult to fetch external (ie noncompiled) html and include it as react dom nodes, and ad serving is pretty difficult too because most ads use document.write and this paradigm doesn't work with react, as well as single page applications and the rendering of contextual advertising requires server-side rendering too. State management solutions like redux; nobody i know or have seen does it exactly the same, its really tricky to use and takes a long time to get the hang of.
- symboltoproc 8y agoI have always considered React one of the frameworks that allows you to interop with regular HTML and JavaScript the easiest. The reason being that you can easily access DOM nodes and everything is run in JavaScript anyway. This is a lot more complicated in languages where you have a template language in my own experience. That said, document.write is kind of special since it requires JavaScript to run while the HTML document is still open (so before it fires the loaded event). There is a reason this API is barely used today and mostly superset by appendChild.
