Spa Memes

Someone's got a hot take about React being "the worst web framework," and the React devs are standing outside like concerned parents shielding their children from profanity. The irony? React isn't even a framework—it's a library. But try explaining that distinction at a tech meetup and watch everyone's eyes glaze over faster than a useEffect with missing dependencies. The beauty here is that React devs have heard every criticism imaginable: "It's too complicated!" "JSX is ugly!" "Why do I need 47 dependencies for a button?" Yet they remain unfazed, quietly building SPAs while the framework wars rage on. Whether you call it a framework or library, whether you love it or hate it—tomato, tomato. The React ecosystem keeps chugging along with its 200MB node_modules folder regardless.
