I’m not against React but it sure seems like it’s more complicated than vanilla JS. The hater energy might be a clue knocking at the door, trying to quietly inform you of something you don’t want to hear.
- MatthiasPortzel 4y agoThe people who work professionally with react all day are well aware of React’s problems. But I’m a front end developer. I’m not about to change careers and become a database administrator because managing state in React is unintuitive. (And while there are other frontend frameworks and solutions, they have their own problems, and it’s more difficult to find a job using them.)
- phailhaus 4y agoLol "quietly". React has been around for over ten years with one of the largest grassroots ecosystems built around it. Maybe that should be a clue that it has something to offer? I think HN is averse to it because it's blamed for "how complicated the web has become". If only we would all settle for simple static websites!
- hyperhello 4y agoIt’s not binary. There can be reasons to use it and reasons not to.
- blowski 4y agoMaybe, but it’s more likely to be boring noise from immature script kiddies who only want to use the newest tech because it’s cool.
- robertoandred 4y agoI’m not against indoor plumbing but it sure seems like it’s more complicated than a shallow hole dug in the ground.
