React is not substantially different from developing a Rails frontend
I think you misinterpreted the article. The developer experience isn’t what’s at stake here, it’s what the user experiences. And for 95% of systems (99%?) as simple Rails app will be faster than a React app.
- DangitBobby 4y agoI'm curious to see actual performance comparison metrics for a site written on rails versus one written on, e.g., Next.js.
- robin_reala 4y agoReally the specific framework isn’t an issue: it’s down to minimising as much as possible the amount of JS you ship to the client.
- phendrenad2 4y agoUser experience is affected directly by developer experience. If it's tedious, or complex, or error-prone, to develop using a framework, then the user experience will likely suffer.
