Personally I prefer to take away from this the aspects that might work for me, as opposed to looking for anything I can come up with to rip the author a new ass.
In my case, I decided to keep using jQuery as opposed to React or other newer frameworks when I started building an app I was getting ready to update around 5-6 years ago. Not because I found anything negative about React.js and other, newer, JavaScript libraries, but because jQuery still does what I needed and I was familiar with it.
I have no doubt that React is a great choice for teams but end users don't care at all about what's under the hood, they care about usability and stability. What I cared about was my personal productivity.
If I were managing a team I likely would've used React.
- TheMajor 3y agoThis was the end result I came to as well after the bigger frameworks started gaining popularity. I work primarily solo in a single organisation with server-generated (CMS driven) websites. Yes, I could have replaced jQuery with Vanilla, but the syntax for jQuery is still so much simpler, and I care about my limited time and productivity. For me to switch over to something like React would be complete overkill. Again, as part of a bigger team, like you, I'd most likely consider a different approach.
