...but React isn't on this list today, at least not as practiced by the tools their team recommends developers start with (Next being the best of the bunch): https://reactjs.org/docs/create-a-new-react-app.html … It's a bloody shame.

App developers take it for granted that the language doesn't break whenever new browsers are released, that new features are iterative, that things get faster year-on-year without them needing to re-compile their code.

Platform developers, meanwhile, have incentive to look at the totality of the web rather than the shouty, shiny bits. You know who's a *much* bigger community than React developers? WordPress-ecosystem web developers. What they need matters more, if we're being fair.

But we listen regardless, and try to balance needs across these differently-geared timescales and balance them with the relatively limited resources available to each individual browser team. We'll keep doing that, no matter what names

I remember the days of “just put jquery in the browser”. It never happened but it influenced the apis we have nowadays. TLDR of this is frameworks and libraries come and go, the platform stays.

Just imagine how ridiculous it would be if today all browsers shipped with something like Mootools today... [or insert any js lib/fw that was once popular and no one uses it today] It would sound ridiculous and we would have a hard time removing it

React is popular today, but it will go, or at least the current form of it. I’ve been in the web long enough to realize that every library or framework is temporary no matter how popular, the only thing we can rely is the platform.
