初创公司使用 ReactJS 就是在向 Facebook 交税

ReactJS is a tax Facebook levies on startup web development.

Although initially I was very excited about React, after working on several teams doing React-based web development I ’ ve found the overall amount of effort spent developing web applications is significantly more than vanilla HTML/CSS/JS.

We reached the point where our people spend more time (and code) tricking the framework into doing what we want it to do.

Also performance is abysmal.

The component philosophy of React does offer some organizational benefits, especially for working in a team, but it ’ s nothing that couldn ’ t be replicated by some simple coding conventions.

Facebook - as a company that can ’ t really move fast anymore (and doesn ’ t have to) - knows this imposes the same restriction on smaller companies by taking away their agility and maxing out developer resources for work on what used to be trivial stuff. From Facebook ’ s perspective, React has to serve two functions:

priming and funnelling programmers into their enterprise and

suppressing development efficiency elsewhere.

It ’ s positioned very well to achieve both.

Don ’ t get me wrong, I think it ’ s perfectly well designed to suit Facebook ’ s internal needs while at the same time it ’ s guaranteed to drain resources from startup developers. Intent is not necessary, it ’ s just what happened.

If other shops felt the same way you did about React … about the folly of developing apps with “ vanilla HTML/CSS/JS ” that you don ’ t …

I ’ m fairly confident that almost nobody shares this opinion, so personal attacks on my competency are expected, yes.

The problem with all tech fads is that support for them is absolutely ardent, until the pendulum swings in the other direction.

这就是对国外大公司的技术迷信,　 Facebook 的东西就一定好吗？　 Google 的东西就一定高大上吗？

AngularJS 、 Backbone 、 Ember 、 React 则完全使用另外一种开发模型，框架不只是库的简单集合，它还有自己的事件、 DOM 交互模型。

最关键的一点这些些框架把你框住了，用了就不能换。甚至连 ng1 和 ng2 都不兼容。

讲一个真实的例子，某知名创业公司：开始于 backbone 流行时，就用 backbone 写了，后来 angularjs 出来了，就用 ng1 重写了，再后来 ng2 出来了，又在用 typescript 重写中。累不累呀？

早期的 Prototyp/jQuery 只是一些库，基本做事方式还是 html+css+js 。 web 开发的本质并没有变，现代 JavaScript(ES6)的新标准对 jQuery 有着许多借鉴，例如类选择器， DOM 操作等。当你用上这些高层框架，你就会发现离本底 web 开发越来越远，开发越来越复杂。网页加载越来越慢，你也越来越累。

个人比较喜欢类 library 一类的库比如 jQuery ， zepto ，这些东西是可以在不重写应用的情况下替换掉，感觉很爽。
