Ignoring virtual dom, the number one thing that kept me in react was normalized event handling across every conceivable type of browser that the web could throw at you. Is that no longer a thing in 2021 or do all libraries handle it?
- mhoad 5y agoThis is one of many things that were true when React was first created and is now no longer needed. I feel like half of React’s codebase is just reimplementing features that are now browser native. It seems like they have painted themselves into a weird spot by drifting so far from web standards because the path back doesn’t seem that obvious from the outside at least.
