I'd argue the opposite - it has been good enough, but now the whole FB platform is old and stale and so is React. 10 years is a long lifetime in the tech world. It will be around for another decade but I'd argue is over the hill in most of its variants. Big next gen opportunities

Can you expand on why? I’m pretty satisfied with React in that it

1. doesn’t try to be a full framework 2. Is easy to explain (without hooks) 3. Has good inner-loop tooling with hot reload 4. Doesn’t have any insane transpiration requirements

What should I try?

Is that all still true with modern react? By the time you explain the rules of hooks, concurrent mode and its hooks, and RSC I think the only one that's true is (3).

@guhidalg there is nothing 'wrong' with React at all, it's mature and debugged. The issue is the platforms it serves are old and something newer is sure to replace it

"Doesn’t have any insane transpiration requirements"

Configuring webpack is insane in itself

That's easy: 'npm create vite@latest' done
