This is the most upvoted controversial, and in my eyes, trolling post i ever saw on HN. I'd at least expect a look-forward element, like "use Svelte" or whatever. But a simple and pure (and from my point of view totally wrong) flame just against React without mentioning any of the competing frameworks feels simply awkward.
One could substitute React with almost anything js-related, and the post would still incite flame.
- mmmeff 6y agoI prefer the criticism raw and plain. No need to muddy the waters with a biased recommendation. The author’s criticism stands on its own.
- firebaze 6y agoFair enough. The js ecosystem has quite some room for improvement, this is what I definitely agree on.
- worik 6y agoMost criticism I see here is of the JS frame works generally, rather than React in particular. I, for one, am glad to see the push back against the mad craziness that has dominated the Node.js/Framework word. It is easier to speak than listen, easier to write than read, and easier to build than test... Hence Node.js, and JS Frameworks. I do love programming in Javascript, have not done it for a while, as I cannot abide the ignorance and arrogance that goes with the ecosystem. I love plain old vanilla JS....
