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.

You call it well made? I'm sorry for you, you must really live a really harsh life.

I do. What are you calling well-made software in your nice enlightened life? Open my eyes.

compare slack with telegram-desktop for example, which has similar functionalities but is way faster.

It would not be faster without some kind of a tradeoff, so it does use way more RAM.
