So react is even outperformed by angular these days.. is there a new trend to follow or are we ignoring this just like we ignored es6 and kept using jquery?

Angular is a whole framework, and that makes it heavy. But here's the thing: Angular has made tons of improvements over the years that simply aren't possible with React, because well, you can only do so much if you rely on third-party build tools and most of the functionality is provided by third party libraries.

Currently learning React on a website made in React that has tons of issues with rendering. Funny times we live in .

Still don't see a point in using it but whatever. Job market asks it and I have to learn it :( .

I stopped paying attention to react when its flagship company is not even able to run their own website with it properly. FB has always sucked imo (both as a platform and as an idea) and it works like shit with react. It fascinates me since i would expect that the mfkers that built it would be proficient in it, but noooooo.

Benchmark and real world performance are completely different things.

Angular binding diff checking is faster than react since angular doesn't include unnecessary values when building diff model. However, angular reevaluate the entire template way more often when angular recalculate each bindings when JS execution queue is empty. React only recalculate children nodes when setState is triggered in a parent node. In reality, most angular apps would be slower than react app because zonejs triggers too many times. If you add react features such as concurrent mode, local change detection, and a proper observable based reactive system (rxangular), the raw performance will suffer but the actual user experience (overall performance) will improve.

A kid replaced react vdom with lighter vdom using compiler tricks and react becomes faster than solid 😂
