I never saw brilliance in his contributions. Specially as React keeps being duct-taped.

Making complex things complex is easy.

Vue on the other hand is just brilliant. No wonder it's creator, Evan You went on to also create Vite. A creation so superior that it couldn't be confined to Vue and React community adopted it.

There's no need to take down and diminish other's contributions, especially in open source where everybody's free to bring a better solution to the table.

That's utopia.

While everyone is free to fork and maintain React. It's by no means an easy task, specially if it's not their job like Dan's is.

Plus, industry tends to gravitate towards what is popular. Network effects an all. So if a massively popular tool is subpar, the complications of it aren't without impact.

And no one is immune to criticism. LLMs are criticised for their sycophancy but some humans are no different when it comes to gatekeeping criticism.
