writing react apps in a proper way is hard, very hard. plenty of companies out there big and small can't do it. once you've a professional react dev, you easily recognize the react apps due to the subtle bugs. makes me miss my old team, where our big react app was actually performant.

Can you speak to these bugs? I personally don't agree that React apps impart any standard class of bugs, but maybe that's because Redux is actually the source of all these issues and I've avoided redux like the plague it is
example app: airbnb when you get messages. click a message. and you'll see it will still have an indicator that you've a message, when you've none. airbnb guys are some of the best react guys out there even released open source libraries like enyzme etc. fact is no one can ever get the react thing right. don't get me started on facebook. plenty of bugs in their new app. But for some reason, instagram web is polished.
nice point on pointing out the redux part. yeah most times it's the point of bugs - state mismatch etc.
If a framework/library is very hard to use correctly - even for people who are not only experts, but contributors - then that's a huge red flag against it.
Sure, but if massive amounts of people disagree with that take and think the library is strong, intuitive, and best-in-class, maybe someone is just struggling with understanding the structure of the library
