React kind of reminds me of English. It is ubiquitous for reasons that essentially boil down to imperialism. It imposes at least as many problems as it solves. There is ample evidence that we were getting along fine (if not better) without it. At some point it became the only language many young people know.
And if React is like English, then using it to write a CLI is like using Webster's dictionary to translate hieroglyphs.
- itronitron 3y agoYeah, React has always struck me as a bit of a Frankenstein approach to application development. I don't get the appeal, but then I already know how to develop complex applications. If someone can explain if it has any advantage over any native windowing frameworks I'd be interested in reading that.
- kristiandupont 3y agoThat may be but at least for my own case, web development became an order of magnitude more pleasant when React came out. I keep an eye on new frameworks but so far, nothing has caught my attention enough for me to switch.
