> I sometimes check React discussions and it's full of new made-up terms about managing issues that are uniquely caused by React or some previous iteration of a React technique.
In other words, you're checking React discussions and finding discussions on how to maintain React code. What were you expecting to find?
> What happened with the simplicity of just "generate some boring ass HTML DOM in JSX, and it applies the diff to the actual DOM".
React happened, which does just that but transparently and effortlessly. In fact, React does it so well that a concern is to prevent it from applying those diffs when being updated when it doesn't need to.
> That's it. That's the entire value proposition of React and it needs no hooks, handles, states, immutables, events, data trees, properties, arguments, components, nothing else.
React does not need those features if you are using React for things other than developing graphical user interfaces, which by their very nature are stateful, emit and react to events, handle properties, etc.
