Is the tide on React finally turning?

  We can hope, but it'll take more time for people to understand what a mediocre library React is.

  Doesn't seem like it. It's still the top rated framework according to State of JS. Also, what would be a better alternative, since you don't like it? Seems like it's yet another technology HN loves to hate, but every developer I know likes it.

    It's not that I don't like it; I use it daily at work. It's just that I am seeing far too many people instinctively reaching for it when they need to build a frontend of any complexity, for any purpose. I was like that once myself, and I'm looking back to those days with embarrassment. Personally, I like the movement back towards the web platform, browser standards, and web components. For many cases, these are more than enough.

  The tide will only turn when a competitor arises who has a clear advantage over React. I've all of the major JS frameworks, and while they're all nice, none of them are a no-brainer as far as ditching React.
