Wow, a legitimately unpopular opinion. Strongly disagree, I worked on complex frontends before React, and React was SUCH a breath of fresh air

It's a legitimately unpopular opinion only because React is on that list. Take React off this list and the opinion will be stale.

I also don't know what it means for FB to be "leading" in this space because they don't push any of their other solutions on you. In fact, React being a stand-alone library may be a long-term strategic mistake as it seems the ecosystem is tending towards mega-frameworks.
