This thread has really opened my eyes to how much the world hates react developers, I am one.

Unrealistic timelines, implementing what should be backend logic in frontend, there's a bunch of ways SPA's tend to be a trap. Was react a bad idea? Can anyone point to a single well made react app?

Yes, SPAs are inherently a very niche concept that has been applied to too many things for the wrong reasons.

On react, it's funny that sites where the frontend part is really crucial tend to move away from generic frameworks and do really custom stuff to optimize. I'm thinking about Notion, or Google Sheets, or Figma, where the web interface is everything and pretty early on they just bypass the frontend stacks generally used by the industry.
