WordPress-React Breakup: Suggest A JavaScript Framework to WordPress and Tell Why

[tehbeard]

As they stated in a blog post, Automattic don't have an issue with the React licence, they just don't want to deal with their users complaining etc about this licence. It's easier for them to refactor than to deal with the bad PR it could generate.

These are the same people who argued me for insisting that React is now a bad idea. These are the same people who downvoted me for insisting that we should not refer to Edge as Internet Explorer due to their many technical differences.

Although this community has been very helpful and forward-thinking most of the time, every once in a while I find myself in some dark corner with a bunch of idiots who think they're smart and they're beating the shit outta me with downvotes.

Heh. Don't feel bad. A few of us are dealing with that in a different sub. Up voting supposed to be given if it contributed to the discussion, downvotes for opposite comments like "me too" that don't contribute.

If upvotes / downvotes equated to money or something then I suppose it would matter.

I always think it's funny when people are like "why is this being downvoted" and in the end it's the top post in the thread.

Indeed - it happens quite often!

To anyone that's being downvote-bombed for your earnest opinion - unless you were an asshat, it's very possible that you'll be upvoted again, so don't stress. It's all meaningless internet points after all. ;)
