React has shifted the questions asked by newbies, from which framework to choose, to what tooling to choose to complete the framework. Essentially it&#x27;s a framework in library disguise.<p>It&#x27;s used more as a simplifying term for a family of related technologies, rather than React the library itself.<p>For experienced coders this doesn&#x27;t matter too much. More toys to play with. Newbies seem to be having a hard time picking up all those buzz-word ridden notions of the available tooling.<p>Not everyone can have a deep computer programming background, so they have to be confused and then get it wrong, in order to learn.<p>It&#x27;s not React&#x27;s fault, it can&#x27;t solve everything. It is what it is, the problem is irrational people, trying to make a front-end messiah out of it.
