Ask HN: How has been your experience moving everything to React

[harshs08]

I work in Rails shop where we have a monolith with most of the frontend written in either;

1. Server rendered haml pages. 2. Client side React.

Currently, there is a debate going on to move all stuff to react.

Curious about people's experiences and thoughts about it.

If I had the opportunity to go back in time and change one of my decisions, that would be one. And if I really need to move to another framework, I rather go something more simple, like Vue.

React is hard and sometimes fails to deliver value fast enough.

[harshs08]

That is an interesting take. So in your experience the promise of fast development and a single technology, hence easy to onboard didn't really work?

Change it to yes or no?
