I'm not even against you in general but "react for 12 years" is another really bad example with the complete paradigm change from classes to hooks. I even think hooks are better, but I'm not going to sit and tell people their fatigue isn't valid when even your argument is "some of these aren't as bad as babel or webpack".
- whstl 1y agoThe paradigm change you mention happened once, it was piggybacked on an existing and very popular concept (functional components), and the previous paradigm was "deprecated" by the community itself. Sure it would be better if people had gotten it right the first time, but the fatigue problem isn't really due to React. And my argument isn't that "X is better than Y". It's that the number of new tools showing up is WAY smaller than it was when those complaints started. Today it has become a meme here in HN, often by people outside the frontend community.
