Did... did he really call React "minimalist"?! I'm not sure this guy has ever attempted to build any actual webapps with React, because that's certainly not a term that anyone would use that had.
You can probably use 90% of React's functionality with like, four or five functions and four or five component lifestyle methods. What's not minimal about that?
> jQuery doesn't include any of that stuff, either.
That's a really important point. I still often use jQuery because I don't need 'any of that stuff' and for a bunch of different reasons (other developers, client already using jQuery, etc.).
But it's surprising how often these days my clients want/need stuff where jQuery would not be ideal and React can take care of it all.
