Are you insinuating that it’s unimaginable that someone would boycott React because Facebook?

>"But I won't b/c Facebook." Do I understand correctly that you also personally boycott React?

I do. Is that surprising, though? Given the variety of tools/frameworks to build interactive web stuff, there isn't a single thing React offers that cannot be found elsewhere.

I work on the backend so I have a de facto boycott. On the front end I'd probably be forced to use it until something better came along.

I do not boycott React because of Facebook. It's because its inferiority.

Inferiority to what? I hate Facebook as much as the next self respecting Netizen, but I still use React at work because it's just the best tool for the job. I'd be happy to hear some arguments to the contrary.

React is kind of the best one right now. I wonder if Apple’s new React-ish thing will prove to be an improvement and be ported to JS.

Ever looked at https://svelte.dev ?
