I think it's reasonable to say that React is a UI framework because you have to build your UI within it if you choose it. The author's argument that because it doesn't provide the kitchen sink it isn't a framework, misses the issue that you can have frameworks for subsets of a project. You get UI frameworks (React, Angular), CSS frameworks (Tailwind), backend/API frameworks (GraphQL), etc that only lock in one area.

It’s a bad argument. React is still a framework and not a “library”.
