> "framework gravity" I see this a lot. Especially with languages - of course I would love to write a big app in Haskell, but the tooling for Java / JavaScript / C# is just so much better (before Swift / Kotlin it was so much worse). And what is happening with React is just like what happened with those languages: all of the big drawbacks are getting their workarounds. Bundle splitting and server-side rendering address large bundles and long load times, as the author mentions. Of course they have their own issues, but as time goes on I'm sure more workarounds will be created. I wouldn't be surprised if in the next 5 years, React's drawbacks don't fully go away, but they're a lot less. Although I'd rather like React gone too, personally I really don't like using it.
