In this talk I'd like to use 5 minutes of my time to explain to the audience why jQuery is simply way better than React.
- Does React have a
fadeIn()
method? Nah, I don't think so. You need to install a react-transition-group package which weighs over 3GB. - Can you do
$.get(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12345/adding_two_numbers_javascript)
in React? NOPE. - Remember React 3.3.1? Me neither, because they didn't make it. Meanwhile in jQuery land: https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js
- Can you learn jQuery for free? Sure! Can you learn React for free? It'll be $500 USD and your left kidney for a conference ticket.
And many, many more.
(This is a completely serious lightning talk proposal, I promise.)
