I haven’t found a front end library I like more than React except maybe Astro.

I didn’t really like Svelte and I am pretty opposed to htmx. It is certainly better than Angular and Vue, though Vue 3 is tolerable. Maybe there are more popular options nowadays but tbh I am not really looking to move from React. I have zero complaints other than maybe the push towards server rendering and partnering with Next.js

React is simple and I like that it feels a bit like FP. I love that I can write just about my entire application in TypeScript with all of the benefits that incurs. It requires some knowledge/discipline e.g. around useEffect.

If you care to use native browser APIs and features you can have lightweight, performant applications that behave well in the browser.

Most devs don’t do this, even with vibe coding. It’s a very easy way to filter for those who care about what they are building.
