I stopped reading after this.
Websites released in 2012 were typically PHP, server-rendered, written with jQuery. Angular JS was considered cutting edge and go-to option for SPA projects. React was released later and only popularised around 2017-2018, and even at that time I remember most frontend developers were hesitant to use it in production due to the licensing ambiguity at that time (It wasn't MIT).

- yakshaving_jgt 4y agoI helped introduce React at UXPin, and that was in Q4 2015. By that point it had already been broadly hyped for at least a year. The parent comment is broadly correct though. AirBnB couldn't have been a React website in 2012 if React's initial release was May 29th, 2013.
- hdjrudni 4y ago0.14.x was when I adopted React. And yeah, I think it was getting quite popular already. That was released in 29/10/2015, so that matches what you said.
