No One Ever Got Fired for Choosing React

  1. 2

    I love React. It actually nails the function programming paradigm, with immutability, composition over inheritance, and so on. I like that it's bringing these old concepts to the forefront, rather than everyone continuing on OOP or imperative code. I'd say that React is not boring, it's actually superior in execution to every other JS framework out there.

    It's definitely, unfortunately, true. I enjoy building with Web Components + Turbolinks + EJS, it's great, but it's absolutely not feasible for anyone working in a team. There is a lot of arbitrary, opinionated aspects you have to add to get everything work work nicely (such as data attributes on HTML tags). I do wish React was less annoying to SSR without Next, and it'd be nicer if it was faster. React isn't necessary for most web projects, but for bigger ones, it does the job.

      This. You can substitute in Angular, Vue or a few other names. I work in Angular for my living. I work in React (or vanilla TS) for personal projects, depending on the scope.
