Uggh, as a full time React developer I cringe at the thought that React has actually solved anything. It has undoubtably advanced the front-end ecosystem considerably but by god does it feel like a brittle foundation in which to advance further. After 10 years it seems like the only things React really has going for it is that it does forms pretty well, that JSX is a great templating language, and that it is popular. I find myself on a daily basis wishing for more vanilla approaches to the problems React smoothes over.
