Well, yes, but... its popularity is not completely accidental. It's good - even by today's standards, but certainly by the standards of the time.
- aitchnyu 3mo agoIn 2015 I was teaching that React was a lightweight library that simply did function state -> html, codebases were bug-free, snappy and easy to understand. And it was true compared to configuring jQuery listeners the unperformant way into a Rube Goldberg machine of cause and effect.
