- beebeepka 5y agoThat's not what you said initially. Nice bait
- moron4hire 5y agoI didn't say anything about my past experience. Is it so incomprehensible that people did massive amounts of web development before React was even a twinkle in someone's eye? Is it so incomprehensible that someone could learn React and then choose not to continue to use it?
- beebeepka 5y agoI actually don't like react. The whole thing reeks of religion. I do like Vue and Svelte, though. They let me do powerful things without getting in the way. Native APIs are fine but eventually you're gonna need some more abstractions in order to scale beyond a garage app. Frankly, I tend to write my own stuff on the backend but there's so much more work on the front end, you end up either adopting or building a framework.
