Six months ago I hated React JS for being so lengthy, I was like, “React Is the Worst”, but suddenly a miracle happened that forced me to start loving React JS. You might think miracles are not real, but after reading this you’ll start believing in them…
In the initial days of learning frontend Js frameworks, I tasted mainly two frontend frameworks; VueJS and Svelte. But there was something missing in both frameworks, that was simplicity.
React JS is undoubtedly more lengthy and bulky (while working) than Svelte or Vue Js. Svelte being the shortest syntax-ed Javascript framework, but still Svelte was not my type.
Svelte did a pretty significant Job with SvelteKit (like NextJs of ReactJs) but the issue was the two CSS files (import ./*.css) of separate pages being mixed up, and I had an uncozy feeling with that. Also, I wasn’t able to fix it, maybe that’s because the community wasn’t that huge enough.
And, the problem with VueJS is that its code is so ugly, that it has no pure syntax. For that reason, I have to leave Vue Js. Also, VueJs was just growing and I need server side-rendering, and with Vue3 that wasn’t possible at that time.
Finally, the moment of truth; I had to choose React JS, ’cause I had no choice, you might say I would have tasted Angular, but I was such brain-washed about Angular that there was no chance for me to check out Angular. No one likes Angular, at least in my circle!
I searched tutorials for React JS on YouTube, and I found it pretty simple to use. Indeed, it was lengthy and bulky to work, but it’s simple to use. Honestly, it was simple. It was easy to learn as well!
I tried making my own web apps with React JS without watching any tutorial, and it worked, I was able to make my own React Based webapp without watching tutorials. I felt like a miracle just happened. Well, I was pretty good at making web apps with Django, so maybe that helped there. Also, I had already two Django-based web apps on the production which are giving me passive income, so I wasn’t new at programming or webdev, I was just new a frontend JS frameworks.
So, I have decided to stay with React JS now, and live a happy life with React Js till eternity.
Also, nowadays I am migrating my Django Based webapps to NextJs/Django React Framwork Based webapps.
React JS is simple, flexible and easy to learn; so learn it and be an advocate of React JS. But ReactJS is definitely not beginner friendly, or is it?
Thanks for making our web community a family of 1.3K Members, Keep Up The Josh, guys!
Have a good day, please don’t hate any other JS frameworks, they’re just not my type.
