What's the main criticism?

faldore|3 years ago

Speaking as a former eBay engineer.

The criticism is that it isn't React, and that nobody uses it but eBay.

There's nothing really wrong with it other than that there's no reason for it to exist when other frameworks work fine and have community traction. There's nothing special about eBay that requires it's own special UI framework.

And when we hire contractors to do anything they won't touch Marko so we have to use React anyway on a lot of projects.

Just not an efficient way to spend the companys money creating and maintaining a superfluous framework nobody asked for.

I think the main criticism is portability of skills, ie everyone wishes ebay would just use react.
