Thanks for the comment Dan, I always appreciate you commenting and explaining in civility, and I’m sorry if I came a bit harsh.

I understand the logic, but there are several issues I can think of.

1 - as I said, SSR and API layers are good enough, so investing heavily in RSC when the hooks development experience is still so lacking seems weird to me. React always hailed itself as the “just JS framework”, but you can’t actually write regular JS in components since hooks have so many rules that bind the developer in a very specific way of writing code.

2 - as react was always celebrated as an unopinionated framework, RSC creates a deep coupling between 2 layers which were classically very far apart.

Here are a list of things that would rather have react provide:

- advanced form functionality that binds to model, and supports validation

- i18n, angular has the translations compiled into the application and fetching a massive json with translations is not needed

- signals, for proper reactive state

- better templating ability for control flows

- native animation library

All of these things are important so I wouldn’t have to learn each new project’s permutation of the libraries de jour.
