Counterpoint is if there was any reason to? I find both jQuery and React solve very different problems. Simply moving to React because it’s what’s everyone is doing would be just as wrong as sticking to jQuery because they refuse to learn new things.
- jgerrish 5y agoYou're right, jQuery alone, even when it was all the rage, wasn't enough for a frontend application. Backbone, Marionette, eventually Angular and all the rest were huge improvements. You needed a message passing / routing framework, and the new frameworks have consolidated that and improved on it. Older developers are sometimes more conservative. Sorry. And age leads to cognitive decline. Reality is reality. I'm an older engineer, and even if things are stacked against me, I'm ok with that. It's a consequence of the brutal shift in cultural education around the craft. I hope more creative individuals flourish.
