While this might be accurate, if you're suggesting React be excluded from this list, that would be a disservice to both React and the reader. Does changing the section title to "JavaScript Frameworks and Libraries" resolve this? The problem with that is that this opens the scope to thousands of useful JavaScript libraries, while the focus of that section is on those providing that list of important framework-like packages available to the developer. Excluding React here because it doesn't actually provide a framework is worse.
To give my 2 Cents to that Topic aswell -
As an React Expert myself - i do not care if its called Jquery 2.0, Library, Framework whatever.
But if i would starting learning React i would like to have the right Term - therefore "Library".
What? What’s in dispute is not an opinion, it’s a fact. It’s literally on the homepage banner of reactjs.org. Also, it’s not an accusation but a fact that this is spreading misinformation
Okay, let me rephrase, instead of calling it nonsense and just declaring "Wrong!". Maybe take a kinder approach of directing people to the correct information so people can learn for themselves.
It's not very helpful to people who trying to learn and make themselves better engineers and developers when you just declare them wrong, if anything it makes the writer feel worse about what they wrote.
Constructive criticism is a great way to learn, but also a great way to teach.
That’s the problem, it is not “technically” a framework, it’s just simple not. People that refer it as a framework heard it from somewhere and it confuses people as to what React actually is. NextJs is a framework that uses React library. This is how it should be informed. I guarantee newbies are getting confused as to…”well, should I use NextJs or React and what’s the difference?”
That's a bit harsh, and a bit of semantic nitpicking as well ... if you take React, and then (as almost everyone does) you install a few other tidbits alongside it (like react-router and a couple of other standard packages), well, then by all means you've got a "framework".
Having had this debate a hundred times and done research into the matter I have come to the conclusion: who bloody cares? Like it couldn't possibly be less relevant to this article. This whole debate is just semantics
I think you could find a much more tactful way of going about this. But, whatever. You seem like the type that absolutely NEEDS to show they are right. So, congratulations on proving that, while also looking like a complete ass. Yes, React IS a library and NOT a framework. But, constantly needing to point this out to people must get tiring.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Wrong! React is NOT framework please stop spreading this nonsense
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_fra... from this perspective any one can call react as framework.

You should look up the word "pedantic" in a dictionary.

In fact, the creators of React (Facebook or Meta) call it a library
Instead of screaming "wrong". Maybe use this forum to explain why you think its not a framework rather than accuse people of spreading nonsense.

With all this great researched information, your problem is a nitpick. Even if it's not technically a framework, many people refer to it as such

Chuy, this is such a poor way of communicating your thoughts/feedback on a public platform. You can do a lot better!
Perhaps, I’ll take your advice and I hope you take mine as well.
Seriously…. someone needs to pump the brakes on their ego
