If react adds extra render time and extra dev time, what is it saving?
Doesn't React already do efficient DOM updates for you with their virtual DOM and it's diffing mechanism? Or are you referring to something else?
People forget what problem the virtual dom and react is supposed to solve.No better article than this: https://blog.vjeux.com/2013/javascript/react-performance.htm...
Perhaps the answer is to not use React.
still more performant than modern React based systems
I have easy solution: don't use React!
It sounds like you've never tried using React. It has built in solutions for the issues you mentioned.
Perhaps it's due to React's architecture of one way data flow?
Isn't this supposed to be a non issue because react can intelligently compare the higher level components of your application and decide whether they need to be re-rendered?
Who complains about React being slow?
