No need for personal attacks.

And there's also the other side: people who insist in overusing React. Perhaps that's what the author refers to.

I for one have see HTMX eat React for breakfast in a few of my clients during consulting.

i don't know about all that, but this is an incredibly tired diatribe.

they are clearly not.


They are clearly not.

"In short, nobody should start a new project in the 2020s based on React. Full stop."


Really? HTMX for me brings spaghetti code on the server side. Fine for small projects but not so for large ones. I would prefer the clear separation between frontend and backend beyond small scale projects.


React does not create a clear separation. Anyone who claims that hasn’t worked on any react bigger than a todo list.

If you struggle with backend code then you’re just not a good backend developer. Maybe just stick to HTML/CSS.

What about the rest of them?
