I think you'll find a lot of people begrudgingly have to work and really wish they didn't have to. That means using what they know, which means React. Which I totally get. People want to spend time with their kids, hobbies etc. Worst case, they might be caring for others, like their elderly parents.

I feel like you derailed the point made. It was not about having to work at all, but about what tools to work with.

Yeah, but having to learn new tools is more work than using the tools you already know. That's the point I'm making.
