I feel bad because while I don't reach for react (I usually pick Vue or vanilla), people's comments about react is really depressing.
There's a LOT of shitty react code. And when you see beautiful react implementation, it's like a work of art.
Unfortunately, react projects have been given to by bootcamps grads with 6 months of experience and it's like the blind leading the blind...
I wonder if it's like PHP. Lots of people shit on it because they had to futz around in a garbage project written by garbage developers, fully unaware that it can be elegant in the hands of a professional team who cares about code quality.
I find react stupid because of JSX, Vue is much cleaner easier.
ofc you can create a mess with any tool or framework
When I started my programming journey, JSX was what made me stay sane.
