React is having the same problems Angular had, and jQuery had. New ECMAscript features make formerly complex things easier, and JS frameworks adapt.
Lots of solutions. But as more edge cases start to show up, they continue to add more and more little things that shape the language into more different variants.
Many of the changes are pretty good. But New devs will go, “Why are there 7 ways to do this React thing?” And that adds to the noise.
Again, that’s not a React problem. It’s just coding in general. PHP also had a “damn you ugly” phase. But unlike PHP, I don’t think React (and most JS frameworks of today) will continue to be as popular as some hot new JS framework in 2027-2030 sweeps the landscape.
And PHP will still be chugging along. lol. It’s weird that React syntax went from being fairly pretty, and structured, to looking like a plate of spaghetti. Usually languages and frameworks go the other direction.
I love how PHP 7 looks, and PHP 8 only continues to improve.
Totally agree. React is going backwards. Vue is so attractive. Heck, I’m even starting to rebuild react apps in Web components because react is getting weird.

Not at all knocking PHP.
