I'm not sure I'd say that React's DX is actually that great. I've watched C++ developers come over from using QT and the learning curve is massive. Plus almost all the bugs come from dealing with React's renders.

I think React by default is weird because most things don't actually need that degree of reactivity. Like, if most of the time only one thing is displaying or updating a value React just adds a lot of headache. And the amount of useEffect I see? (By necessity mind you) with the need for linters in order to figure out if you missed something in a dependency list.. I just think it's the wrong model for most projects
