The question I think we should be asking: Why? Why are we replacing everything with React and a bunch of other libs on top of it?

The front-end dev space feels like a cacophony of people all blurting out the same over-engineered stack. If your app is a few lists, a chart, and a form... Does it _reaaallly_ need React?

37signals is afterall running multiple successful products with Rails, and one of them is an email client.

I liked this video, maybe you will to: https://youtu.be/mTa2d3OLXhg?si=nhqGO4lPaAcP0mdm&t=3000

I don't agree with everything DHH says, but I think he has a really good point.
