#2> Mobile devices simply don't have the CPU and memory to cope well with client-side JS apps.
I think they do, but most client-side JS apps are horribly designed. They load the whole bundle at once, display ads, have setTimeouts and other unnecessary things that add to the bloat.
Native apps aren't great either, I hate the Twitter and Reddit ones, they constantly fail to load stuff, block and restart.

#3Serious, not intended to flame bait question: Why is race/gender featured so prominently in this technical post?
Would it be appropriate to open a post with “black men in tech had a twitter meltdown”?

#4I still think React is a wonderful library and feels like a more natural way to express a dynamic web page. Other frameworks get into your face a lot more.
It does seem like a lot of the grievances in this post are about arbitrary choices by the author or the teams using React as part of their stack.
Maybe I'm not attached enough to React that I can understand the problem.

I was wondering that as well. However I am not sure I would call it a technical post. To me it reads more like the rant of a person who hates react because it was written by facebook.

#6Despite the race / gender notions, the rant is very recognizable.

#7Someone wrongly accused a well known React dev of being a white supremacist for things that didn't happen.
Now people are, rightfully, angered about the false accusations, but the accusers use this to say "see, we said you are toxic!"
Guess we gonna have fallout from this bullshit a long time...

One difference is that "black men in tech" are a minority with a lot of discriminatory experiences. Criticizing a minority you don't belong to for complaining too much is something different than criticizing the majority you do belong to for the same thing.
I don't know about "react-gate" yet, but I'm sure to find out in a few minutes.

#9> The popularity of React is fueled by corporate-sponsorship, a tech industry seeking validation by becoming Hard and Masculine, and aggressive Capitalist principles
Uh, huh.

#10What is this madness? Is this a tech article? Is this what good content looks like on the internet? Is React racist? Do people simply spend too much time on twitter?
I have so many questions and hope to never have to answer any of them.
