I'm a full-time React developer & this gave me a good laugh. React's most useful feature is that it can pay the bills.

as a professional react dev, i never knew react syntax is annoying until i played a little bit with svelte and vue

As a React developer (not by choice, but by necessity) never in my life has something resonated with me so much.

I was pretty impressed with React the first time I used it. You can write new UI pieces in only 10x as much code as you would need without react.

Me, been involved in both React and (then) Vue, I find vue much easier, comfortable and with much less side effects, was always confused why people praise React (between Vue and React). Today, you finally made my confusion go away. Amazing video.

After making several Projects in React I can only say, that this is so damn true. For everything exceeding a counter example, you have to use certain „hacks“, to bypass the mostly stupid design guidelines you are forced to implement.

You absolutely nailed it with "makes us feel like real programmers"!!! I often wonders why they have complicated the stuff so much when wit was unneeded. Best 100 seconds I ever spent on YouTube.

I’m a React developer and this is all hilariously true
