It was 10 years ago, as was Backbone and many others.
IMHO X is an alternative to React if you can build a web app with X.
Sometimes less is more. Some people prefer vanilla JS or a lightweight library to a huge framework with an "ecosystem" of baggage.
- MuffinFlavored 4y agoAs somebody who has done some very gross things with jQuery/vanilla JS when I should've really been using the pattern of "components just redraw themselves based on props/state" (or whatever it is that Reacts boils down to), I'm not so sure this is the right answer. Vanilla JavaScript/jQuery projects probably start off small/without bad intentions. It's what happens to them overtime as they grow (fall apart) in my opinion.
