> no one will be going out of business just because their frontend isn't React

Yes.

But one is more likely to go out of business if their frontend is still using JQuery. It's harder to maintain and iterate, harder to recruite good engineers.

I would ask for more money if the company hiring me uses JQuery and doesn't use TypeScript/React. And if the company somehow hires me, I would be less productive because I can't use TypeScript and a modern framework.

I’ll take jquery over react any day of the week and ask for less money because it’s more productive

It depends what you're building.

Glad I'm not the only one that thinks this

It really depends what you're doing, and with how many people you're doing it.

What if they use typescript/Vue? I work for a fortune 100 company that uses Vue. We have found that people familiar with react can pick up Vue very quickly. That hardly seems like a reason to ask for more money.

Vue is good. jQuery sucks.

[pototo666]

I will accept the job. React and Vue are not that different.

My experience with True React Frontenders is opposite, except for more money nuance. I don’t even feel that “no one will be going out of business” vibe, really (but that must depend on a type of a business).
