The experience of "you push, provision databases & dependencies in 3 clicks, and it just works" is sadly still unmatched.

But we need contracts that go way further what static typing provides. If they add dependant types + ability to enforce the types at runtime so that you can use it on various inputs, then maybe it will be truly useful.

But their offering is "frontend oriented", what you describe doesn't work for django / laravel / rails / etc, no ?

Don't know how much you have used ember, but I disagree, it's quite sane as a programming model and ember data is still ahead in terms of developper comfort for client apps.

100% this! I'm amazed at how most issues with React are non-issues with Ember, and still saddened by how often React dev are completely unaware of how these issues have been solved elsewhere.

Because most software doesn’t need to be good, but just hit the “kind of does the job well enough” line. It improves velocity for this usecase.

Re:Five Years of React Native at Shopify

After having used Ember for several years I find it very sad they didn't develop a "mobile" offering, the dev experience is fastly superior (especially as it relates to state handling).
Hooks are a bit of a cancer, they leak absolutely everywhere on top of making it quite difficult to reason about re-renders.

"React very much feels like programming using only side-effects" this absolutely nails it.
