The year is 2025 and React devs are still stuck in a local maximum with this archaic syntax and absolute footgun of a dependency management abstraction Imagine all the keystrokes, CPU cycles and brain cycles we collectively could have avoided over the last decade if the industry just moved on from virtual DOM frameworks instead of blindly following runaway network effects (pun intended)

I still don’t understand why VDOM. Solid, Knockout, S.js nailed it years ago

I’m half-convinced React culture is a cult. People who are deep in it just don't bother to try the alternatives or question the fundamentals. https://warpcast.com/darrylyeo/0x89943d9c

i imagine it’s the ecosystem people are choosing, not necessarily the framework itself

A framework don’t necessarily need a big ecosystem – as long as it plays nice with web standards, you have everything you need to create a great experience. When an ecosystem grows too big it can actually be a sign of fragmentation and library churn.

true - people just get used to their toys and it’s hard to pry them away. sometimes the ecosystem is just lacking though, im a big fan of svelte but react is still my default for web3 as nothing comes close to wagmi hooks from a dx perspective
