I think with these sorts of rant-like articles, my expectation is the author will tear down the strongest possible contra-arguments. I don't think this author is doing that. Quoting random numbers as "too big" and random examples of web apps as "too slow" really doesn't feel like more than an angry rant. Which is fine! But it's just not something I'm going to praise you for, even if I agree with some of the core points I think you're trying to make. It would be nice to see examples of React applications commonly considered "the good ones", and showing us that they are actively subverting some element of React's framework to accomplish that feat, or how they could be better implemented with another framework/technology/platform. Show React actively standing in the way, versus ranting about how one of the most common JS frameworks, is commonly used to create sub-par applications on a platform renowned for it's size and accessibility to amateurs.
