- andybak 11y agoI've been following the rise of React fairly closely and the speed thing has never felt oversold to me. It was more: "Faster than angular on complex pages unless you jump through lots of hoops" and that still seems fairly reasonable.
- dangoor 11y agoI've seen several React talks given by Facebook people and the pitch they make is that React makes things simpler to reason about with acceptable out of the box performance (and levers to make it faster as needed). There may be some people pitching the speed angle, but I don't think it's the Facebook people.
- vruiz 11y agoI disagree. The main message I got was never "React faster than everything" it was rather "React makes complete DOM re-renders fast".
- dmak 11y agoThis is the ONLY way I hear about it being sold.
