>> but React is not a framework It's a framework which advertises itself as a library. In reality, there is nothing library-like about bypassing the DOM for rendering and making developers use a custom programming language (JSX)... and please don't give me this tired old argument that JSX is not compulsory! Has anyone ever seen a real React application which does not use JSX? Exactly. If 99.9999% of developers are using React as a framework, then for all general communication purposes, React is a framework.
