    Front end is hard. Slapping together some form elements, xhr requests, and DOM updates is easy. Building a usable, consistent UI, that makes proper user of the backend isn’t. On top of that, every jackass thinks they get it because they’re a user, so you get unsolicited suggestions from everywhere.

    The problem is you have comp sci majors who learned .Net or Java handed react, so they do their damndest to turn react into .Net or Java.
