Post Author here. I think you are underestimating your own creation. Stencil is a delight to work with, and very well done.
We at Wix are a huge React shop. We know all the best and worst of React, both OO and Functional styles.
For us, while Stencil is super interesting and is better compared to React, we will not move to Stencil.
Had we started now, it would have been a hard choice React or Stencil
I think the main message here is that

- lostcolony 6y agoI think it may have been meant as a declarative, where 'that' is 'the preceding message - that were we starting now it would be hard to choose between them"
- gfxgirl 6y agoWhat is functional react? It certainly isn't using `useState` etc as arguably all those `useXXX` functions are not remotely pure. They do different things the first time they are called vs the second.
- Kyro38 6y agoHe probably means FunctionComponents (as opposed to Classes)

- yesimahuman 6y agoWe absolutely know it can be used well as a replacement for React. One thing we don't want to do is position it solely as a React replacement because then the unique capabilities of it get lost and we get into pointless flamewars about frameworks!
