@adi Yeah it's a tricky one. If you are using React with Hooks (not all the class based rubbish), it's actually alright. Have a look at the below.

It's just when compared to something like MithrilJS, it's very complicated and slow. But it's definitely the lesser of the evils (popular frameworks/libraries) out there.

But to answer why everybody is doing it, I think it's community, ecosystem and echo chambers.

@markwylde Of the component libraries, https://riot.js.org/ was pretty cool, however I migrated to https://github.com/hyperhype/hyperscript and https://github.com/Matt-Esch/virtual-dom at some point.

☝️ This 💯 especially “echo chambers”

It’s like what we talked about the other day Mark, where most people haven’t the foggiest why they use Kubernetes in the imfra 🤣

@adi Yeah, Mithril is actually based off hyperscript. You should check it out.

I used Riot for a bit and it was alright, but again with the transpiler tag file syntax, it just gets needlessly complex. It's actually what introduced me to Rollup.
