I only responded because they said they're using vanilla React which for some reason in my head instantly translated to "old version of React before it started sucking", and replied accordingly.

>But why would OP or I switch away from React when we believe it's mature, stable, fast enough, and has a huge community, resources, and ecosystem?

Yeah fair enough.



By vanilla React I meant that I don't use the new Next.js / SSR stuff and instead build a JS file.


what do you use for routing? I built Routerino for just exactly this purpose, to use with vanilla React. maybe it'll be useful for you!

I actually use the history API. I've been thinking about modernizing by replacing it with React Router. I'll check out Routerino also.


React router is a nightmare.

Lots of massive paradigm shifts with little backwards compatibility.

I’ve gone through like 3-5 times where there is some massive changes between versions.

Right now they are pushing some new routing mechanisms…


Yeah I only realized that later :P
