Not at all. There was an exodus brewing. For starters:

1 comments

An HN thread with a dozen responses? Hardly an exodus.

A quarter of all websites? An exodus.

Those websites weren't leaving, they never arrived..

They were close to arriving but they backtracked, all 25% of them. I'd call that an exodus before you even arrive.

If that's the definition then let me tell you about my exoduses from almost every country on the planet...

...of sites that posted on HN.

Projects that I work(ed) on that use React have no plans to switch away and aren't represented in that 25%.

That's not what I meant.

25% of sites on the Internet run WordPress. WordPress was rewriting its editor in React, but decided to switch away due to BSD+Patents.

You can't die if you were never alive to begin with

And yet a project can die before it's born

Does the decision to use React or not affect end users? Each WordPress site is not making an independent determination.
