Just HTML, CSS & JS?
Of what commercial use are the funny, animating widgets?
At this point frameworks like React exist just to generate employment for software developers, like the Federal reserve exists for economists.
- shadowgovt 2y agoI've had enough experience with 10-person teams trying to synchronize code for a large UI to think otherwise. Trying to do that with "just HTML, CSS & JS" either dooms the project or ends up with the team implementing their own flavor of React (or something else) to standardized complicated state update in a modular fashion that allows sharing code. Not everyone needs React, but when you do, it's nice not to have to reinvent the wheel.
- richrichie 2y agoWhat do you think is a large UI? Can you give me an example?
- shadowgovt 2y agoFacebook is one. So is Google Cloud's dashboard. Basically anything where a single UI will be serving multiple separable concerns (that could be handed to multiple separate teams in a large org).
