I understand the spirit of your comment, but this was/is also true of Google Web Toolkit (GWT).
- eyelidlessness 4y agoI’m going to have to take that on faith, their site doesn’t appear to ship the JS necessary to open the nav menu. But clicking through a few links confirmed what I recall: the major difference (apart from language) is the component/templating approach. Not that one is inherently better than the other (though I do personally prefer JSX), but bringing this concept to a dev environment which thus far mostly lacks it is a good thing for users. And with more flexibility in variety, there’s better odds users will get that experience.
