Re: long-term maintenance
So far every way of doing UI I have seen isn't maintainable long term. Yet somehow things wind up being maintained even if it is in that "why me?" kind of way.
I think this says less about frameworks/libraries themselves and more about the amount and sources of entropy present in the front-end. That's really what we're dealing with here.
Libraries/tools/patterns/frameworks all usually have the function of containing some of that entropy. In theory the best tool contains the most entropy while allowing you to produce results you can sell to all stakeholders.
I think over the years we are doing better and better, but it's a long game. We're not all the way there yet, is it even possible to get all the way to the dream?
