A response to “An experienced JavaScript dev’s account of learning React”
I&#x27;m having trouble understanding what this accomplished, other than making the react (or I guess redux in this case) team look petty.<p>I agreed with the original post and this reply didn&#x27;t sway me. I see in this thread that people who had already disagreed with the original post agreed with this, as expected.<p>Seriously, nobody not called Linus Torvalds should be writing direct replies to criticism of their technology in blog posts (and he&#x27;s the only exception because reading his replies is very entertaining).<p>Yes, people like their technology and like how it is, it makes sense for <i>them</i> but, that&#x27;s not universal; so addressing criticism (even as an attempt of countering the criticism) only legitimizes it.<p>If one doesn&#x27;t want to acknowledge that one&#x27;s technology is not for everyone... one is better off <i>not acknowledging it</i>, in any way; doing otherwise puts that shortsightedness in evidence.
