That's where ecosystems really matter. These kinds of use cases are well solved in places like C# desktop toolkits, where stable conditions allow ecosystems to build up and companies willing to drop thousands on licenses for UI toolkits inject plenty of cash. The javascript ecosystem on the other hand is so cash-strapped, frequently disrupted, and splintered across frameworks that libraries rarely reach the maturity necessary for complex situations. Even virtual scrolling is a rarity. So everyone just develops what they need in-house, and the next project has to start from scratch.
- ehnto 3y agoThat is an interesting perspective, I had never considered the JS ecosystem to be cash strapped but I see what you mean. Aside from big institutions supporting some of the leading frameworks there is a limited amount of paid products and an expectation that things be open sourced. JS has a lot of man hours in its ecosystem but they are into thousands of individual projects, not holistic frameworks.
