That's to be seen. I very clearly remember when Angular first came out, that was clearly the way to move forward. People switched in droves. Then React came along and changed everything. React has also remained more popular than Angula

I agree the current one is a major change but it's not mature yet. It hasn't stood the test of time. Twitter was built on RoR when that was the coolest new thing to build things on and Uber's booking engine was on Node.js whe

It's literally laughable that you call react native a half dead tech. It's still *the* most actively developed ecosystem for cross platform apps. Don't believe me? See https://insights.stackoverflow.com/surv

I call BS. I just downloaded it and it works fine. Literally every single one of your comments has it out for this transition. I trust my own experience and their data.

Oh yes. You know best. Their CTO did no due diligence before making such an important transition. They didn't even bother talking to AirBNB about their experience. Nothing has changed since AirBnB made their transition. You my friend,

Of course none of the solutions involve you . You just want the product for little to no cost. A product that increases your productivity and helps you earn more. Pay for it? Phshhh... let someone else step in and work for less. I&#x

Well done Sherlock. You've cracked the case. The authors of an extremely popular product should not be paid well! Let's incentivize them to quit and find a job with FAANG.
