Ask HN: How has been your experience moving everything to React

Posted by harshs08 on Wednesday September 25, 2019 @07:35PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I work in Rails shop where we have a monolith with most of the frontend written in either;

1. Server rendered haml pages. 2. Client side React.

Currently, there is a debate going on to move all stuff to react.

Curious about people's experiences and thoughts about it.

If I had the opportunity to go back in time and change one of my decisions, that would be one. And if I really need to move to another framework, I rather go something more simple, like Vue.

React is hard and sometimes fails to deliver value fast enough.

That is an interesting take. So in your experience the promise of fast development and a single technology, hence easy to onboard didn't really work?

Change it to yes or no?
