Never said what CC is doing is right. Using React for knowing what to render is good enough for state management for me, that they can’t or won’t figure out how to emit less escape sequences than they need to (which is a solved problem for 40 or 50 years now in windowing UIs) is a different thing.
For the record I can’t stand CC flickering and general slowness and ditched Claude subscription entirely.

In TUIs you can re-render the entire screen at hundreds of frames per second. Has nothing to do with state management. Doesn't need React to "figure out what to render".
Again, React is not a state management library. And it's not really applicable to non-DOM rendering approaches.
