To play devil's advocate for a bit, what you said applies to jQuery as well. It has an enormous plugin ecosystem. I know, I know, people are going to now start pointing out how X or Y specific thing is "better" in React, but then isn't bundle size, application space code conciseness, etc also W and Z specific things?
At what point is the argument for one toolchain over another simply circular reasoning / backpatting? Trade-off analysis isn't just pointing at X, it's about looking at the balance of X and Y vs W and Z.
- bobthepanda 4y agojQuery is a bit of an interesting case, because it was so successful that it APIs got implemented in browsers themselves. The advice that I’ve seen is that you should replace jQuery selector stuff with vanilla js and css whenever possible, and for a lot of projects that doesn't leave much.
- Semaphor 4y agoFor me that usually ends when a plugin is only available for jQuery.
