I was pretty late to switch from jquery to react- I didn’t switch over until after react hooks were released. The reason is simply that jquery works great and the issues with scalability can be solved with proper design. Of course once react hooks came out it was clearly superior to me than jquery and was well worth the switch.

When I’m developing an application, I could not care less about what tech it’s built on. I’d much rather just pick something old and familiar that’s stable, has a huge ecosystem, and has tons of common issues answered on places like stack overflow.

These flavor of the week types of posts are always worth a read because it’s possible that something else may supersede react eventually. But proper understanding of the render cycle plus use of the react debugging profiler has been enough in the apps I’ve worked on to make them lightning fast.

Oh and typescript is a mistake.
