Did... did he really call React "minimalist"?! I'm not sure this guy has ever attempted to build any actual webapps with React, because that's certainly not a term that anyone would use that had.

Clickbait title by another fool. when will it stop?

@author, some of the mistakes you made:

>It’s easy to learn and reason about. it is not easy to learn. though once learned yo ucan easily reason about.

>It enables a clean way to break your interface into smaller isolated blocks.

jsx is not clean by an measure. it is just better than using React.createElement()

>It brings HTML and JavaScript closer together. its XML, not html

I bet 10$ that he can not even do "hello world" in react.

You can probably use 90% of React's functionality with like, four or five functions and four or five component lifestyle methods. What's not minimal about that?

I thought this was going to be a "jQuery is old, bad and React is going down the same path" post. Boy, was I wrong.

For me, it seems the author have just using reactjs and got loved with it. Just an emotional issue that will disappear fading out.

People normally get in love when they do some fancy dom manipulation with few lines of codes.

But experience shows different.

React by itself is nice, clean, minimilistic, et cetera.

Nobody uses React by itself. Add in ES6 transpiling, a data system (redux & friends), server side rendering, routing, and now it's complicated.

jQuery doesn't include any of that stuff, either.
