Lol this is what I said in 2015, and why I built my own frameworks that suited my own ergonomics. I wanted something that got out of the way and let me just build. React has so many hidden gotchas and weirdness, a lot of it due to its JS-but-not-quite and HTML-but-not-quite divergence from standard platform behavior.

The article talks about innovation in frameworks themselves, but the risk I foresaw was something larger and more pernicious: by being the "go to", but coming with hard to debug weirdness, plus dependency on an unreliable upstream, innovative products cost more to build - effectively slowing innovation across the space as a whole.

That's why I never picked React. Despite it having some good ideas, syntax and implementations!
