      It's hard for me to explain the incredible volume of terrible experiences I see. What leaks out to twitter is the faintest echo of the collapse of usability web-wide driven by JS.

      Give me a better solution to the wide range of problems solved by JS and we’ll gladly use it

      In almost every case this isn't about "js vs. no js", this is about picking tools that don't put the user second. There's an entire universe of great tools that are doing much better here w/o DX loss: Lit, Svelte, Preact, Stencil, etc. etc.

      Then the problem is not JS. I agree with you on many things, but your tweets are so often offensive at their core to people who are trying to make a career for themselves. We all want better things, but scale is something React does better than any of those tools. You know it too

      Scale without performance isn't worth wanting.

          React, in the right hands, is performant ;)

          Absolutely! I've seen great React sites; I'm a huge fan of what @swiggy_in has achieved, e.g. What I'm describing is the *distribution* of outcomes, tho. On that basis, there's a real and persistent problem.
