Hacker News is a bunch of older grumpy folks that want to keep using jQuery. Also some had a bad time with classic redux patterns that were a terrible atrocity - but also not reacts fault, however they have a strong association with each other. Modern react w/ modern state management patterns is a joy to use.

Remember too, that the loudest minority is not always right.

There are millions of developers happily using react every day. They just don't come onto HN to complain about the "woeful state" of frontend.

What is considered "modern state management" these days?

If building a SSR site with nextjs use react server components and react context

If building a SPA site with vite use tanstack/react-query and react context. There are other great libraries like zustand and jotai that can make sense in certain kinds of more complex applications.
