"React is, for the vast, vast majority of organisations…objectively worse than many of the alternatives.
React meta-frameworks…are never going to outperform dedicated server frameworks or tailored front-end code.
They make hiring easier but they also make it easier for management to fire your entire team and replace you with something cheaper.
So it doesn’t matter if it’s worse. …Tech management will sacrifice technological progress if it disempowers labour."
