My Opinion on the “Stop Using React” Article

There was a recent article titled Stop Using React which spawned lots of discussions. I want to give my thoughts on this article and React in general. From Wikipedia: React (also known as React.js or ReactJS) is an open-source JavaScript library for building user interfaces or UI components. It is maintained by Facebook and a community of individual developers and companies. React can be used as a base in the development of single-page or mobile applications. However, React is only concerned with rendering data to the DOM, and so creating React applications usually requires the use of additional libraries for state management and routing. Redux and React Router are respective examples of such libraries.
