its a cult in react web dev circles. Just be glad that you never had to encounter devs who insist that everything must be on "tan" stack.

React Query is great. I’ve used his router and table component as well. IMO his stuff became popular on merit more than some cargo culting à la redux

as someone who encountered this cargo culted at a number of start ups -- I beg to differ. React Query I will always pass on. the other lesser known hits of tanstack -- won't even consider.

React Query I've managed to avoid but it's really a cache + promise hook, it's fairly versatile.

Tanstack Start / Router are pretty great coming from nextjs, and not limited to React either.

Nah there are better cache plus promise hook libs than react query that don't try to sell you courses or bump the major version several times and preach that developers can't handle fetch data logic. It's the monetization of small helpful lib by a megalomaniac

Yeah and it’s also ridiculous. They have so many bloated micro-libraries, they have a “headless range” library for controlling ranges and sliders that is marketed as being tiny at only 10kb. And their website is full of glitches and rendering bugs and it takes multiple seconds to navigate pages.
