React often gets lumped into general JavaScript hatred of the form “the entire ecosystem of tooling/frameworks/libraries changes every few months.” That’s despite React existing for one third the lifetime of the World Wide Web. React is older now than jQuery was when React was first released.
Although aside from JSX, so much has changed it could’ve been a new framework at least once, and part of its longevity is that it doesn’t bundle a router, form handling, etc, and the popular ones of these have changed many times.
