Good point, well made! It just always feels a little disingenuous when in a graph form as it leads to the misnomer β€œthe virtual DOM is faster” and that gets touted about all the time! 😜

Thanks! Yeah, this may be my fault, I tried to bring as much nuance into the article as possible to communicate that there is more to it, but it's often difficult to get readers to understand. Generally, readers will just skim over and get the big ideas, which is an issue and proliferates the misnomer you brought up. Context always matters!
