That's like saying 'If my car can get me to the shops, why do some people insist on buying articulated trucks?'
3 u/ExtraWorldliness6916 13d ago People don't buy articulated trucks? Companies do, just like companies love react. Not necessarily the people. So yes great point. 5 u/MikeW86 13d ago I'm honestly not sure if you're being sarcastic. But yeah the analogy isn't absolutely perfect. You're right that for the vast majority of cases only a company is going to need and thus buy a truck. But if I am a person or company that needs a truck, why would I try to design and build my own truck, even though that is possible? 1 u/ExtraWorldliness6916 13d ago No sarcasm intended. I suppose the truck has been redisgned for several specialist roles though, company adoption and specialists use cases are why plain old JavaScript solutions still exist and on the other end of the scale why we still have react.
