The react ecosystem is massive, and includes impressive projects like the various backends/renderers: react-native, react-sketch.app, react-vr, react-pdf, ink, that have no equivalent in other frameworks (or at least to nowhere near the same level of maturity), so yeah people ditching it may well regret it.

Patent grant terminated, not license

Yeah I don't have a stake/opinion, just posted that particular article because it's a recent, thorough take, by a lawyer.

Another premii fan here. Has some nice touches like the night mode mentioned and 'Appearance' settings (font/font-size/colour).

> The plugin interface is a public interface too, right?

It didn't say 'plugin interface'. It said 'internal changes' that could affect some plugins. The way I read that is some plugins could be relying on internals (that they technically shouldn't, they may have good reason ofc).

> From the list of JS libraries they're using alone, I'm guessing it's going to get even fatter and laggier than it already was :(

Why? Only 3 of the 'JS libraries' listed are actual run-time code (React, Redux, Immutable). And React + Immutable are typically paired together specifically for speed optimisation reasons.

> I just want a listview of requests that appears in under a second

I think calling it a listview is a little unfair, and clearly there has to be tool/library cohesion with the rest of the Firefox devtools too, which are also much more than the odd listview.
