The author of this article also wrote the for me mind blowing things like MathBox2 [0], the Pixel Factory [1] and many more. The often mentioned clone of React in the article, described in "The GPU Banana Stand" [2] is something that wasn't heavily discussed here as I think the concepts are just very advanced. I mention this as I believe this is what the author is concerned about and what some might haven't experienced. Using React for "advanced" things were it just doesn't cut it and one has to go back to manual DOM manipulation, or having to dig very deep to understand how one can build UIs were the elements update 60 times per second. React works great for things were this is not a concern, but if the standard has these innate restrictions, what applications will the future hold if all people know is React?

Though not a fan of some rants and the bashing on Zoomers, give them a chance to build the next iteration of the common tools, the oldest Zoomer is 25 at the moment.
