This is all news to me. I don’t think any of that. Do you make a habit of writing fanfic about other people? You also seem upset that I used word “everyone”. I thought my exaggeration was obvious. How embarrassing for us both.

If you want to make any technical arguments in support of react, I’m all ears. The only argument I can find in your comment is that react is popular right now. But that doesn’t mean react can’t be improved upon. Jquery was once that popular. Then react displaced it, by being better. Soon react will be displaced in turn, by a library which addresses react’s flaws. I can’t wait.
