Sounds like you're working on jQuery-sized apps, not React-sized. The problem is that many don't know the difference, and everything is React-sized, even apps that have no business being anything but server-rendered.
- lordgroff 5y agoYep... I mean, part of that is a problem of "SPA everything" cargo cult; basic web page? SPA everything! Content management? SPA everything! I manage my wife's electronic store that's based on WordPress, and I see absolutely no reason for ever changing it. I've written a bunch of custom scripts, all in PHP back-end and jquery front-end, and... It just works. And it's fast. And complexity is totally manageable. But, I've also written a few SPAs for her business deployed as PWAs, and I can't even begin to think about how it would look like if I was using jquery for these tasks. React (or Vue or whatever) is an escape hatch from going insane in such situations.
