I'm not sure why that article exists given it's content can fit in a single tweet. It's 90% finger wagging "you don't know what I know" and 1 sentence of the point.
Anyways, this sentiment has become popular recently for some bizarre reason. All of the things that are the "real strengths" are in fact only possible because of virtual dom. So in my eyes the virtual dom is the important part, as the enabler.

- Touche 12y agoWell, if it's not "random finger wagging" then that makes up for the fact that he spends several paragraphs berating the reader for not being as smart as he is and seeing what he sees and spends exactly 1 sentence explaining what it is that he sees.
