The article started really strong and I believe the point about React and knock-off frameworks not evolving to really solve challenges modern web applications face is good and worth exploring.

Then it took an awkward and very long detour into gushing over Apple design.

And it "circled back" to a rant that seemed to trivialize things like collaborative editing and undo/redo like they were generically solved problems in the past. No, collaborative editing was not a solved problem 20 years ago. It's an evolving space with recent advancements in the CRDT space from Yjs and Automerge really opening things up.

Started really good but I was hoping it would have ended up with an analysis of the gap between where React (and browsers in general) are currently and where it ought to be; with some ideas around how to cross the gap.
