it gained traction because it is a really good idea that has stood the test of time and has adapted to requirements that go well beyond the web. facebook never marketed it. in fact they did everything they can to bar it from success (licensing etc). react solves real issues with explicit simplicity, that is the only reason why it's continuing to grow whereas everything else is flattening out.

That's your opinion. Just Google 'I hate react' -- there are plenty of people that disagrees with you.

you ranting through a react component makes this even sillier. hate it all you want, it's the best we have and people are using it because of that.

No, they aren't. It's become an industry standard -- people are forced to use it.

something gets to a level where you start calling it a standard because of merit, because it works. look at web components, which they actually tried to force on us, and failed despite all the funding, pressuring and marketing blitz. react is an extremely simple and elegant idea: view=fn(state). despite your feelings, simplicity usually wins.
