I think digressions about React dilute the message. Ok, we get it, react bad; but what is the actionable message here? What are the robust alternatives? There is a section on how changes to react (the introduction of hooks and of the concurrent mode) necessitated significant code changes almost amounting to rewrites; but which alternatives, other than vanilla web platform, can promise long-term stability? Which alternatives are better suited for which kinds of applications (roughly, an e-commerce site vs excalidraw)?
