This is all news to me. I don’t think any of that. Do you make a habit of writing fanfic about other people? You also seem upset that I used word “everyone”. I thought my exaggeration was obvious. How embarrassing for us both.
If you want to make any technical arguments in support of react, I’m all ears. The only argument I can find in your comment is that react is popular right now. But that doesn’t mean react can’t be improved upon. Jquery was once that popular. Then react displaced it, by being better. Soon react will be displaced in turn, by a library which addresses react’s flaws. I can’t wait.

Pointing out the absurdity of someone like you throwing blanket accusations of incompetence is something that's very specific and verifiable. If you have strong feelings about making broad accusations about whole communities, you should pause and pay attention to what you are saying.

Would you listen? I mean, the main issue with your post is the way you throw absurd blanket statements about a technology, on how either everyone using it is incompetent or the framework is somehow broken.
I mean, does it even dawn upon you that maybe perhaps throughout the past decade there might be people using the dominant framework well, and happen to know what they are doing?
It seems not, by the way you opt to disregard it and tell yourself no, everyone is either incompetent or the tool is broken.
Do you understand the absurdity of this sort of claim? Because it isn't even about React, but the way you feel it's reasonable to throw such blanket accusations.
> But that doesn’t mean react can’t be improved upon.
But that's not the claim you made, was it? Do you need me to quote you back at you?
Is this tiny comment what you’re mad about?
> If everyone is using react wrong, react has a design flaw. Other frameworks aren't slow by default.
The claim that react is frequently misused was from the parent comment, not me. If you read it, you’ll see I’m explicitly not blaming react devs. I’m blaming react. Vdom diffing makes websites slow by default. And it is totally unnecessary.
Most of your comment is a big ad hominem attack. To answer your explicit question, yes I would find a technical argument much more convincing than a list of made up character flaws. Especially from a stranger, based on a two sentence comment. What a waste of time.
For what it’s worth, I don’t go around thinking everyone around me is an idiot. But your comment does get me thinking.
