You are absolutely right, but I do believe people should start learning the alphabet before trying to read a book.<p>React looks fine to me and at my daily job our frontend devs do some amazing job. I just wanted to learn and all I seem to find is how to learn javascript through React, and not React through Javascript.<p>I do agree this is a home made solution and would not work nicely with lots of devs involved. I&#x27;m talking about learning though, and we devs are usually bad teachers when we don&#x27;t know how to boil it down to the essentials.<p>How many people do you know that only use React to draw boxes and not for the advantages it brings?
