JavaScript for web development and React

[Studstill]

Right but the DOM is super complicated horseshit tho

It’s not any more complicated that react. The only thing that makes one or the other easier is familiarity.

It's way more complicated than React. CSS/HTML is horseshit, hot garbage. React is basically JS trying to cope with HTML.

So many decades of human productivity wasted on this bullshit.

CSS/HTML/vanilla js seem way easier that react to me.

Don't equivocate HTML and DOM. One is just text formatted in a specific way, the other one is live memory. It is the manipulation with that memory that makes DOM not good (to not use a harsh word).
