A front end web framework with global state management should be a last resort for a website. Coming out of the gate with it is just ridiculous IMO. Most peoples websites are just not that complex.
There's like an escalation ladder in my mind:
- just write HTML
- statically generate the HTML
- dynamically generate the HTML
- dynamically generate the HTML at a smaller granularity (HTMX et all)
- augment your HTML with custom web components that have client side behaviour.
Only if you've exhausted that should you bother with something like React. And even then SolidJS does a much better job of it than react itself does.
So yeah, I am just not seeing it. Former (and perhaps future!) React.JS dev btw.
