I often read these threads on HN and they make me feel like that I am perhaps a horrible software engineer or just weird…

I _like_ building things with React.



I think it's really context dependent. If you've been banging your head against the wall working on a poorly architected React codebase for years, anything else probably feels like a breath of fresh air.

If you have a nice codebase with good separation of concerns (that everybody adheres to) and reasonable library choices, you'll be happy regardless of what framework you're using.


I dislike all the warts of React, all the rules that fail at runtime... If hooks and the rules of them would be enforced at compile time, it could be great.

I prefer solid


as long as you like it, keep using it! I wouldn't try to make generalizations from the HN or reddit bubbles.
