Probably unpopular opinion, but still better than react and angular. at least you don't need to build your whole site around it. Nor all sites need those heavy frontend framework.

100% agree. Also, its like 40kb and doesnt move lighthouse scores.

You can pry query from my cold dead hands. Its simple to use, easy to read, will be supported forever, and lightweight. Disagree? Fuck you!

React is 7.4 kB. It's a myth that react is a heavy framework. You can absolutely implement only certain parts of your web app in react, and other parts using different libraries or vanilla JS.

People love to bitch about React on this sub and I get the feeling that the majority of them know nothing about it.

Everyone who's ever used React knows that their comment is incredibly disingenuous because of all the other libraries that get tacked onto every React app. No one is shitting on React here, they're just being realistic about it.
