The negative feelings about XML are not due to the lack of glossy pitch pages and hypemen pushing XML and XML-based technologies; they developed whole XML had those far more than React ever has.

Some people may be too young to remember that, but...

I'm too old to forget it. It was the wrong kind.

They were the kinds with a bunch of worthless certifications who go everywhere in suits. I expected nothing but expensive clunky broken complicated bullshit from them. And that's exactly what they gave you when they pitched XML so I ignored it for over a decade as some tedious wasteful time-consuming thing that dumb people use to rake in hourly contract dollars.

But then, maybe 15 years ago or so, I started hitting use-cases that it was designed for and everything changed.
