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?

What about Slack, the messenger?

Umm, Discord? SoundCloud? Trello? Bandcamp? Spotify?

If I keep going there are actually hundreds and thousands of well-made react apps.

Ah, since Atlassian has been increasingly messing with Trello over the past couple years, it has really gone to shit. I currently have a Firefox profile dedicated solely to it, using >2 gigs of memory and about 1/3 of an M1 core. It has cumulatively used about a day's worth of CPU time in since I booted in 6 days ago. In contrast, the profile dedicated to Slack is using 750 MB and has burned about 27 minutes of CPU time.
