Tentative conclusion after being burned in performance too many times: Diffing (like in React, but by no means is this unique to React) is a sign that there's something wrong with your framework design.
No, it's not. One could have plausibly made that case in...say...'14 or '15. But not now. And I don't put this down to diffing specifically; it's the cultural shift away from product-level goals to developer-local goals that's fucking us.

So, maybe you can afford React (in isolation), but you can't afford Modern Cultural Frontend (TM) unless you're exclusively targeting high-end desktop devices.

In general I think the React team agrees, they’re not attached to diffing, it’s an impl detail. Suggest something better that keeps the dev velocity and they’ll adopt it. Asking poly to massively increase the complexity of their code is a non starter tho

I disagree with this statement especially cause among the "developer local goals" there's a much lower barrier to entry for beginners. I'm curious what would you propose to improve perf whilst keeping expressiveness of declarative syntax.
