Same. We've been working on a huge React project for several years. Lots of graphs, 3d models etc ... and it is super-snappy. Only slow part is a WebGL-based chart component that visualizes 2-3 M rows of signal data. We can probably decimate the signal data to improve performance, but that has got nothing to do with us using React.

N.B. No one is using the app from their mobiles. iPad and computers only.

Our reasons for choosing React when there are so many alternatives: prior knowledge, ergonomics, easy onboarding, ecosystem.

Super-snappy for who? You? with a $4000 Mac Book Pro? Even with 6x CPU slowdown in Chrome, that's not enough throttling for these modern computers to test with.

Modularization. With React, you can delegate a component to one team and use it as a web-component.

Actually, why aren’t web-components a thing, that’s another story. But componentization is why React creates clean code.

I make this argument all the time and people think I'm an idiot, which is fine. But JSX to me is reason that Svelte and Vue aren't as good. They are faster IMO but with JSX it's nice that you can make a form and then each part of the form can be broken out into separate methods.

The reasoning I get all the time is "Why would you want to do that? That's stupid".

It's just so much nicer honestly. I'm not a react fan at all but that's one thing I miss about it.

Huh? All of the modern web frameworks let you delegate a component to a team and use it. What does react do here thats special?

Honestly, if anything I find react's modularity story much weaker than the competition. In react there's no page-wide state and the story around styling components with CSS is a huge mess.

In comparison, Svelte components feel much more modular & self contained because the styles are embedded with the component in a standard way.
