I literally left front end development because of stuff like this. It felt like insanity. Throwing out the door debuggers, linters, all the tooling so we could express objects as attributes?… and enforce managing state better?..

It felt like a flood of junior programmers in an echo chamber set off by an opportunistic engineers at Facebook who were more interested in creating their own job security then work to evolve an existing standard.

Seriously who honestly thinks that the authors and governing board of HTML and CSS didn’t closely consider the features in react?

What kind of arrogance does it take to say they’re fucking dumb let’s reinvent EVERY tool on front end because we know better.

But I digress…
