How many React apps actually have an interface approaching the complexity of Figma or even Facebook?
No one is arguing that complex web applications don’t benefit from React and friends. It’s completely overkill for most of the web.
- anthonypasq 3y agowhy does everyone have this impression that people are using react to render a website that is 5 divs and some images, like where is this perception coming from? do you have any examples at all? any website that has any sort of meaningful functionality and communication with a server is mostly likely using some sort of framework.
- docmars 3y agoAgreed. There is a _lot_ of naivety around how these frameworks are perceived, from people who have never used them, or who come from different programming backgrounds (i.e. not frontend). It's amusing.
- hombre_fatal 3y agoYeah, there's this whole meme on HN where React competes with hand-writing the HTML of your three-page brochure website, a website virtually nobody is building.
- lizardking 3y agoA lot of marketing agency development is this sort of brochureware, and to your point they usually aren't using react.
