Why react just won't die 😠

Incoherent Intro

React sucks because of the many reasons highlighted by other react haters. Better frameworks have come up but react continues to grow i.e It keeps getting new devs. A technologies death is marked by the decline of adoption by new users. React continues to be the most preferred option for new web devs and companies, why?

Obvious Reasons

  1. Hiring Pool - Already has many adopters so companies choose it because of a larger hiring pool.

  2. The loop - As more companies hire for react, new devs are even more influenced to pick it because there are more Jobs for it. And the circle is complete.

  3. React native - I chose Vue during my bare js graduation, but now I write react because its the best way to build mobile apps with js. Now am even learning freaking nextjs because of work. My goodness I even started liking jsx after being a vocal hater (still hate hooks though). In short the presence of react native turned me into a react dev.

In conclusion

And the conclusion is yes.

Am writing this in the toilet, it smells. Very fitting since this could've been a shitpost tweet thread, but I miss writing on here.
