React is too heavy

ReactJS is not a bad Javascript library by no means . It is actually in high demand in the marketplace around the world. The one problem that React solves extremely well, is the management of the DOM for the developer. The library basically knows when and how to render the DOM when data changes.

The first and most crucial reason React has the hype is that Facebook created and promoted it . Let’s not underestimate the kind of reach Facebook has when promoting things that they make. Right away, we can see that it started with inflated popularity because it came from Facebook, and they’re promoting React.

The biggest reason I see for teams not choosing React is if the teams aren’t the strongest in pure JavaScript . You may not want to use React if your team: Has frontend designers that are familiar with HTML and aren’t comfortable with JSX. Has frontend designers that are familiar with CSS.

Disadvantage of ReactJS They need to be always updated with their skills and learn new ways of doing things . It is another cons which are common for constantly updating technologies. React technologies updating and accelerating so fast that there is no time to make proper documentation.
