Low quality comment. You are well aware of the many high-quality FP web components libraries available, and the ones you've written yourself. Read the post.

I did read the post, and maybe my arguments (already flagged as unpopular) were not mentioned?

It's easy to compare React with every other Web-only based framework (none of them work across Web and native, AFAIK), but React does something more, or something different, with different requirements (see Hermes), no other library or framework needs to care about.

If you knew me, or followed me, you'd know I've never been a React fanboy, quite the opposite, but I do admire the fact their architecture somehow scales beyond the Web, and unless we have alternatives that would work seamlessly with Custom Elements too, which are not even needed most of the case on the Web (like ube demonstrates), the comparison sounds slightly unfair to me.

TL;DR let's compare Apples to Apples, without frameworks/libraries that target only the Web platform, shall we?
