React doesn't have any of that v-if/v-else crap, and it's one of the reasons I gravitated towards it. I don't like the fake attributes because it feels like an abuse of HTML, a risk if there's ever a collision because something was added to the living standard, and also, and this is mind-boggling bad to me, at least in the early days of Angular you could actually see the unparsed templating garbage on the page before the library kicked in and re-rendered.

The DX on React is quite nice. You had to do a bit of extra stuff to squeeze out a bit more performance by memoing stuff, but that's finally supposed to be fixed in React 19. And it's not like that perf was free if you did everything by hand anyway, that just required you to handroll clever batch DOM updates.
