So did you stop reading the rest of the article after you hit that sentence or what ?

The article is arguing that companies keeping using it and devs keep learning React because it’s popular and a “safe choice.”

I’m arguing that they keep choosing it because it’s effective and markedly more effective than the other choices currently available.

In which way is React more effective than say Svelte?

In my opinion React is "great" at a lot of anything, besides being popular. The original author makes the point that other frameworks are greater, and I don't agree with the unqualified nature of that judgement.

React is really effective. And that makes it "great" in my book.
