Unpopular opinion: @reactjs edition Bring it on

React doesn’t include enough out of the box, and the lack of any official sanctioned recommendations increases ecosystem fragmentation and actively harms the ecosystem.

It’s seemingly unpopular among the React team

Not really. I think we agree with this. However we also believe that you can’t deliver a whole solution if you don’t actively use it. A model that seems to work is promoting full-box setups like Next.js and Gatsby and working closely with them.

Also hard to determine what the bar is to be considered a "React blessed framework". Especially when the only ones you've listed are controlled by startups, so i's easier to drive adoption which isn't necessarily a comparative signal for usefulness.

The bar for “React blessed” is often impossibly high because our conception of how React apps should be built is based on core features we haven’t finished yet
