      I think that the developer community could really, badly use a discussion about which techniques work better, and I also believe that the discussion around React isn't helping us have that discussion.

      Some people want to "blame React", while React people want to "defend React". But those two narratives overwhelm a discussion about which techniques, when used together with any framework, get the best results.

      So it's not "React's fault", but at the same time being defensive on behalf of your framework of choice (I include myself with regard to Ember) is contributing to the poor quality of the community conversation.

      I think that it's wrong to blame React, because that isn't the conversation. It's not wrong to observe that people assume that React is "fast enough" and that there's too little discussion about techniques that should come default across the board.

      Also, I don't "blame" React. Instead I note the probability (approaching 1) that sites with 400K of 1P JS include a relatively heavy framework, too many polyfills, and many other unneeded elements. Heavy FW use is a symptom of broken culture and management priorities.

      Do you agree that tooling could eliminate or defer enough unused code (in combination with better patterns and programming models) so that the size of the "raw" framework matters less than how many features of the framework you're leaning on?

      I think tooling -- coupled to good choices in view, routing, and data layers -- is *already* getting real apps to a much better place. Teams need structure. It's why I recommend Polymer Starter Kit and Ionic PWA Starter Kit and Preact CLI and Next.js -- never "raw" view layers

      I’d strike Polymer from that list given the lack of an SSR story. Fatal to good FMP.

      That's an...interesting...claim. I see lots of SSR solutions that don't early flush, delay TTFB by a huge amount, double-or-triple-up overall data sent, etc. It's very much a footrace, but if you're lighter you don't need as much force.

          Just because you can get SSR wrong doesn’t mean you should bet on a technology that won’t ever let you get it right. H2 and SW have similar footguns; I wouldn’t use a framework that prevented me from using them.
