I think the name Facebook being attached to just about anything is a disadvantage, if there are other alternatives.

  Doesn't seem to have been a problem for React/PyTorch/GraphQL. Although perhaps I'd agree, actually. I'm not sure. It's at least not a huge deterrent.

  3 out of 4 most liked technologies are actually from Facebook, so the name certainly doesn't seem to prevent success here..

    I said if there are no alternatives. There was no alternative to React for a long time, and it gained much popularity and momentum. But there are many alternatives to Flow.

        There was absolutely nothing like react at the time it came out, angular had none of its key features. Today we have Vue and others are forming in other languages, but still today angular takes a very different approach to the front end. But react’s breakthrough in the virtual dom management was totally new and really changed a lot of things in our industry.
