Although I like this a lot, and I think it addresses most individual nuggets of React Sadness in a pretty reasonable way, I am still sad.<p>I am sad because every process rectangle in this chart should also point to a decision diamond that says:<p>&quot;Does it seem that the entire industry has migrated to this stack, whether or not it really makes sense for everyone to? That a feedback loop now influences shops to choose these tools&#x2F;technologies not because they are called for, but simply because they are trendy? That present excitement outweighs the question of &#x27;whether you need this or not&#x27; in the eyes of most of your peers and colleagues? That the incentive to not get left behind is stronger than the incentive to stop and consider?&quot;<p>And then, that diamond should point to a final rectangle that says:<p>&quot;If you wish to remain employable, learn React + Redux + ES2017 + Webpack now, or join a different sector of the industry. As for the sadness, deal with it.&quot;<p>This isn&#x27;t only true of React, of course. The underlying sadness comes from watching one&#x27;s valid hesitations drowned out by the mob.
