I'll use anything that the author of this article (Leo Horie) releases or is attached too. He is one of the greatest minds in JavaScript of this generation. After Angular, Vue and React I stumbled upon his framework Mithril.js and it was like I stumbled across the shroud of fucking turin, that framework is true poetry.

That's a funny analogy, the Shroud of Turin is one of civilization's biggest forgeries and hoaxes.

hmm. so he made Mithril but he's using React here? any insight on why that decision?

I joined Uber last year. They had already standardized on React long before that.

I certainly don't speak for him, but I think it's a combination of things. First, Fusion is a group project and not his personal project. Second, React has a virtuous cycle where because there are so many jobs calling for React, more people learn it. People also seek out jobs that involve React because it will help their resumes. Demand keeps feeding supply and vice versa.
