I don’t get the hype either. React makes some very difficult things easy but it consumes anything it touches. You’re stuck reimplementing basic browser behavior because React treats the browser as a compiler. It doesn’t extend the browser.

React throws away decades of development and tooling.

Before anyone starts screaming, you can use react for progressive enhancement. But I’ve never seen it used that way.

imo remix (https://remix.run/) does a great job at that
I literally have no idea what you are talking about. What "basic browser behavior" are you reimplementing that React is blocking you from?
