- theultdev 8mo agoThat's a common take here but I'd take React any day. Been doing this for 20 years. React/JSX is the easiest (for me)
- embedding-shape 8mo agoYeah, same. Not sure if everyone is as traumatized as us when it comes to dealing with 100K LOC large Backbone.js codebases though, or before that where we kept state in the DOM itself and tried to wrangle it all with jQuery. React and JSX really did help a lot compared to how it used to be, which was pretty unmanageable already.

- cheema33 8mo ago> Yeah we’re in React SPA hell instead. I’d rather be in MVC hell. I am guessing the world moved to React because the developer community in general does not feel the same way.
- righthand 8mo agoNo they moved to Reactjs because it was evangelized as the only framework available. There are plenty of people who hate reactjs, don’t worry.
- ecshafer 8mo agoAs a react hater, I share DHH's opinion that React was driven by ZIRP. So many giant, slow, react apps out there that are super slow to develop with. IMO HTMX is a 10x dev time reducer over React.
