It's kinda painful how in the end Theo's only remaining argument for why you should pick React is: "because that's how I learned frontend and there are lots of courses out there!" 🙈

Popularity, availability and spread knowledge (incl. for edge cases), plus a huge array of ready to use solutions is an argument. You could replace React with PHP ("LAMP") easily if you go a bit back in time. With the advent if LLMs+modern HTML/CSS/JS you could get away with a lot less React ofc

Yeah, although: shouldn’t you hire for general web dev chops instead? and most of those ready-made solutions are pretty low quality. Say what you will about PHP, but at least it didn’t make websites as slow as the average React app 😅
