Why people are always end up with J2EE-like bloatware? There must be some pattern, something social. It, perhaps, has something to do with the elitism of a being a framework ninja, a local guru who have memorized all the meaningless nuances and could recite the mantras, so one could call oneself an expert.

The next step would be certification, of course. Certified expert in this particular mess of hundred of dependencies and half-a-dozen tools like Babel.

Let's say that there is a law that any over-hyped project eventually would end up somewhere in the middle between OO-PHP and J2EE. Otherwise how to be an expert front-end developer?

Google's responsive design looks like the last tiny island of sanity.




React removed extra dependencies that some people don't use, not added. Not sure what this has to do with PHP, J2EE, or Babel. Your comment sounds a bit like misdirected rant but if you have specific concerns about React we are happy to discuss! Cheers.
