Can I use Vue.js or React over QML? That's a point many people miss. You think of HTML/JavaScript as the thing from 10 years ago that maybe you played with in school.

Vue.js/React is to HTML/CSS what WPF is to raw Win32 GUI programming.

What problem does React solve for GUIs that isn't an artifact of shoehorning UI design into a document markup language?

UI systems like Qt and Swing have had the concept of a component tree with independently replaceable and renderable subtrees for 20 years or more.

I'm not the author of the commend above but I actually do.

Good explanation if it's true, thanks.

Does modern QML really lack facilities that solve the same problems with comparable ease?
