Well explained, thank you.
When did "data binding" become "reactivity" (why the need to create a whole new lexicon for the same ol' thing)? A lot of this confusion (as per the OP) could have simply been explained away by saying we needed frameworks to bind HTML (visual components) to data. Two-way binding existed in many desktop frameworks before SPAs were even thought of.

- fiddlerwoaroof 4y agoReact is intentionally not two-way binding.
- ak39 4y agoAnd yet, after all these years, Svelte is a response precisely to that design philosophy: taking us back to accepting that two-way binding is nothing to be scared of. The endless loop of thinking in the JS community is expensive.
