alt Hacker NewsThere's 3x more React libraries and code out there to reference. AI agents do _a lot_ better with React than, say, SolidJS. So productivity > performance is a tradeoff that many companies seem to happily take.

Do you really think this is a solid argument in this particular discussion (about it being slow and introducing a mass of unnecessary complexity)?

There's so many React libraries because the framew... I mean library is extremely barebones.
That is, in my view, the main issue with React (rendering model notwithstanding): every React application is composed of tens of tiny dependencies and since there are several competing libraries for even basic things like routing, no two projects are the same.
