I know nothing about React. I opened this article, saw the disclaimer and closed the tab. It’s quite possible that if I hadn’t read the disclaimer I might have tried to read it, decided React is waaaay to complicated for me to learn and never tried it in the future. I think Dan wants to avoid precisely that scenario - scaring away noobs like me from ever trying React.

Of course, he didn’t consider the massive inconvenience he was causing to god level programmers like you when writing his disclaimer. Shame on him!!!
