I don’t get it. In my opinion React is like the worst of the bunch…
When it came out in its time it wasn’t bad compared to the alternatives. Now there is certainly better, but honestly it will still take a long time before we can choose a standard.
Now that would be something, developers choosing a standard.
Well, I have worked with two of them React and Angular. Now working with React. And the further the project goes, things just get messy, and I mean really messy. The concept of everything should be a small function is in practice not true. No dependency injection(I know you can bolt another library on top of it, but really?). The testing is a pain, it gets harder and harder to test isolated functions. Custom tags, attributes that look like the standards that are documented at MDN but are not. And most info I can find online feels like elaborate propaganda. I mean there is just nothing against React to be found, really nothing. That’s just not possible in IT.

It’s just Stockholm syndrome. Everybody that wants to criticize it is too traumatized to say anything, and everybody stuck with it makes a way to think it’s great.
Add to that the fact that it is great in theory, so nobody without direct experience can criticize, and you get only positive reactions.
Thank you for the explanation, so do you think angular is better? I want to start doing front-end and I don’t know what to pick
I have tried some angular, threw up when I looked at JSX so skipped React and do a lot of Vue, Vue is by far the best of the 3. especially 3 with reusables and better TS support.
