Proof? Source?

I don't see why you wouldn't. It's stable, performs well, works in every browser, easy to find answers for problems you run into, and almost every knows it (or should, it's 2024, you don't have an excuse anymore).

>I get that if YOU don't want to use a modern framework

React is the modern framework. It's nimble, concise. The other frameworks are regressive -- they make mistakes that older frameworks already highlighted as being problematic over time.

You should read this article, it was quite good, even if you do continue to use React after. It's good to understand the alternatives, even if you never use them.

It's been a few months since I read it, but I recall the main thing I took away from this was: React isn't necessarily the best choice, other frameworks provide better performance, development experience and tooling that should also be considered

Of course these are just opinions. Everyone should consider all the facts and come to their own conclusions about what they use and don't use.

Companies will continue to use React of course. But I'm not sure if I would use vanilla React for anything I have complete control of.

I understand them quite well. I would say I probably understand them better than OP.
