Re:React Won by Default – and It's Killing Front End Innovation by baxuz on Tuesday September 16, 2025 @05:52AM (#45260142)
Which is arguably worse, because syntax comes with expectations. The way React (and JSX by extension) works is effectively a bunch of overloaded macros, that depends on the pragma used.

And god help you if you want to mix component level code inside React-land and "vanilla". They had to add 3 new hooks over the last 5 years to try and alleviate those issues, all while gaslighting the community and tool authors that the were "holding it wrong".

SolidJS is far better when it comes to how well it follows expectations, and how well it integrates.
