No argument from me, there.

I’m not going to defend the instability of the rest of the JS ecosystem. It’s totally insane. I try to minimize my deps as much as possible, but even so, they’re in the double digits.

My side project at the moment is a zero-dependency stack.

That said, React itself is pretty stable. My guess is that an upgrade from a 3 year old version would be painless. And I still think React / Preact are the best approach that I’ve found for building UIs. It’s quite painful to go back to templating (ERB or Go templates) by comparison.
