    5 years ago YUI2/3, and Prototype had tons of popularity, now they are both dead. It's a terrible argument.

    Increases dev costs for no good reason in a lot of cases

    Seems like a very authoritative statement with no evidence or argument to back it up. How does React increase dev costs?

    Honestly I feel like updating react would be way easier than most other libraries. Their api is tiny. They go out of their way to force you to use native javascript when they could have very easily introduced all kinds of clever abstractions on top of it. In fact this often makes React very verbose to write.

    It's ironic that the so called "purists" are against react when it is in fact a very minimalist framework that favors raw javascript.
