ReactJS is a tax Facebook levies on startup web development.

Although initially I was very excited about React, after working on several teams doing React-based web development I ’ ve found the overall amount of effort spent developing web applications is significantly more than vanilla HTML/CSS/JS.
We reached the point where our people spend more time (and code) tricking the framework into doing what we want it to do.
Also performance is abysmal.
The component philosophy of React does offer some organizational benefits, especially for working in a team, but it ’ s nothing that couldn ’ t be replicated by some simple coding conventions.
Facebook - as a company that can ’ t really move fast anymore (and doesn ’ t have to) - knows this imposes the same restriction on smaller companies by taking away their agility and maxing out developer resources for work on what used to be trivial stuff. From Facebook ’ s perspective, React has to serve two functions:
priming and funnelling programmers into their enterprise and
suppressing development efficiency elsewhere.
It ’ s positioned very well to achieve both.
Don ’ t get me wrong, I think it ’ s perfectly well designed to suit Facebook ’ s internal needs while at the same time it ’ s guaranteed to drain resources from startup developers. Intent is not necessary, it ’ s just what happened.
If other shops felt the same way you did about React … about the folly of developing apps with “ vanilla HTML/CSS/JS ” that you don ’ t …
I ’ m fairly confident that almost nobody shares this opinion, so personal attacks on my competency are expected, yes.
The problem with all tech fads is that support for them is absolutely ardent, until the pendulum swings in the other direction.
