> People loved React because of VirtualDOM. I don't believe this is true. VirtualDOM is a means to an end for React. People love that "end", but they do not love the means by which it is achieved. Maybe one could argue that people love VirtualDOM because it allowed this "end" to be achieved, but I still think every React fan would much prefer it if was doable without VirtualDOM. It is actually "doable" without vDOM but doing so would be much less scalable and require more care from the user of the library.
