Why do you consider it so disgusting?

As an aside, we use it at work because it offers server side rendering, seamless transition to client side rendering, and most importantly, React Native.

What are better alternatives in your mind to cover these use cases? Also, in your eyes what problems can be solved better than React is solving them in?

How are you liking React Native? Kind of on the fence right now with learning it

Our RN project is quite early in development, so it's hard to say, but so far we like it quite a bit. We're a small shop, so the thought of hiring out a dedicated Java and ObjC developer was really, really hard. RN made this whole project much more approachable, and is proving invaluable.

Again though, these are just early impressions.

Thanks, I appreciate your response. I can see how it was right for your specific scenario.

I tried to switch to React from AngularJS, I was almost puking every day, esp from React Redux, holy shit, you have to write so much rubbish to get simple stuff done.

Angular is so much superior, thank god they pulled their shit together.

As for RN, I imagine NativeScript is similar, haven't tried it yet also Ionic is quite a hit. I guess that's some kind of mystical stuff, I hated React from the first day and I loved Angular from the fist day till now. I know React is very popular but one thought about it makes me shudder

Weird, I have the opposite opinion haha. Angular to me has vastly more boilerplate, not to mention the odd DSL that they invented. We actually switched from Angular, due to many complaints after years.

To each their own.
