in the negative, I agree. I see all the hype around React but when I use Facebook.com I am thoroughly underwhelmed.

- phailhaus 6y agoEh? You can't "tell" what framework a site is using just by interacting with the site. What you see is what the designers decided. A better proxy, though weak, would be the number of UI bugs you encounter. The best metric would require you to have insider knowledge, to see how much work is saved by reusing components and writing them declaratively.
- RL_Quine 6y agoYou can usually tell react based things from the poor performance and bad handling of network conditions.
- valand 6y agoNah, this is just because tutorials for these new frameworks does not include network handling. It's far more easier to put todo list app or counter app to your blogs. Really, we need people to come together to build a proper knowledge base rather than fighting for influence with hype and easy blog posts
- traverseda 6y agoMight just be a firefox thing, or a symptom of my ad-blocker, but facebook and the reddit redesign are both pretty terrible performance wise. The thingiverse redesign seems performant though so I don't know.
- noisem4ker 6y agoWhen a website loads displaying a spinner or a splash screen, you know it was made with some heavy framework, it's going to be slow, it's going to break a number of estabilished web UX paradigms (such as scrolling, history or the ability to open links in new tabs) and your phone will feel warm in your hand. You just know.
- phailhaus 6y agoPython lets you write clunky, slow, and bloated programs. That doesn't mean that all Python programs are clunky, slow, and bloated. It just lets you get away with it. Those obnoxiously clunky sites most probably use a popular JS framework, but they made the poor decisions to override scrolling, history, links, etc.
