I've been using it daily for 5 years and have been programming professionally for about 25. My criticisms of react can fill many pages (and what more, I've written them).
I'll readily admit to being a passionate radical about this stuff. The things I have to say are basically just a bunch of bomb throws and I don't feel this is the appropriate place nor do I have the requisite time.
Rest assured, I've put in a considerable amount of time and effort into my thoughts on the matter and we'll likely disagree, but let's not do that here.
- cjonas 5y agoHave you posted your thoughts anywhere online you could share? I'd like to read them just to get perspective of the other side
- LAC-Tech 5y agoDon't mean to blow too much smoke but I really liked this response. I don't know if I could be that reasonable if a piece of tech I liked was attacked.
- kristopolous 5y agoIt's reasonable. I know people care and disagree with me and that's welcome. I'll think about how to best present it gently and prepare something. The stuff I have is really much more for the STS people who think Silicon Valley should literally be dismantled brick by brick. That's a different audience than my fellow startup engineers (I've got my feet in many conflicting camps)
- cjonas 5y agoAs someone who has to make impactful "tech stack" decisions on a daily basis, I try to challenge my personal preferences as often as I can. When someone has a strong negative take on something I thought was great, that's a perfect opportunity to learn deeply about trade-offs or concerns I might not be fully aware of. If nothing else, it gives me an opportunity to evaluate potential issue, put guards in place to reduce the impact, and arms me to defend my choices should the need arise.
