My personal bugbear about pretty much all web frameworks discourse is universally stated things like:
> People tend to compare these frameworks on things that don't matter - often it's performance.
Performance matters in a lot of contexts. If you’re doing complex stuff performance matters. If you’re a public facing site depending in search traffic performance matters.
I’ve ended up disliking React simply because it’s become this one size fits all solution that 90% of web development goes through without it ever being necessary. There’s nothing wrong with React itself but it’s often applied badly.
