I remember seeing an article a while ago that suggested react was a bad paradigm because of a similar paradigm that failed... something about COM interfaces in windows programs? Does anyone remember such an article? That was one of the few truly interesting critiques of react that I have read.<p>Don&#x27;t get me wrong, I&#x27;m not a React die hard but I definitely do like that it exists, and I understand where it fits on the library&#x2F;framework spectrum (somewhere inbetween knockoutjs and angular) -- and don&#x27;t try and use it when I shouldn&#x27;t be.
