I think a lot of the problem is React's syntax and ecosystem is too complicated for the majority of sites out there. IMO using React to make static sites and regular CMS / document type sites is way overkill no matter how performance optimized it is.
I've been experimenting with Vue and I'm liking it more and more just for the simplicity.
- ssijak 6y agoRact syntax is functions + jsx. Jsx has just a smal set of additional rules compared to ordinary html, so I would not call it complex. In Vue 2 you have directives and wierd object model where you store data, getteres, watchers, etc. Each library has its own set of things which needs to be learned, and for me both basic vue and react are easy.
- babaganoosh89 6y agoJsx is not complex but it adds additional cognitive load keeping in mind everything is still JS and the small differences between Html. Also the common libraries that people use in a React app tend to be overkill. Things like Flux/redux add way too much boilerplate for small-medium projects yet everyone uses it.
