Overuse of still-not-standardized decorators seems like "4 years ago", too. Just recently MobX moved away from them for that reason. Also "let main, footer" vs "var footer; var main;" doesn't make it look good for either side. And in the end being better than React isn't that hard. There have been plenty of frameworks that had better performance and/or better DX, without even getting into holy-war differences (e.g. JSX vs. templates). But you hardly work with a view library alone, and so you have to consider the infrastructure and the developer pool (which shouldn't matter for technical reasons, but matters for CV reasons).
