You seem to be conflating your personal experience here with everything happening around you which as you rightly point out is absolutely filled with this ever moving target that is absolutely impenetrable to beginners.
The React ecosystem looks like the crypto / nft space to outsiders. Nobody seems to agree on anything, no two projects look alike, it’s just this endless loop of people reinventing the same core bits over and over again for the past ten years.
I’m happy for you that this hasn’t been you experience but don’t tell me that the React ecosystem is stable. The reputation of the React ecosystem for many years has famously been that it’s a house of cards.
Nope. I'm not conflating my personal experience, because I'm not denying that other people can have different experiences. All I am saying is that blogs posts created to generate buzz and SEO-driven-traffic are not indicative of what the ecosystem really is, let alone of what an individual experience can be.
You, on the other hand seems to be claiming that the only reality that matters is the one that matches your own biases about an ecosystem that yourself seems to only participate from the periphery of SEO-spam blog posts.
It's funny that you're started by calling me a gaslighter when it is exactly what you're doing.
Claiming that React looks like Crypto/NFT only makes sense from anyone taking advice from such blogs.
The core bits have definitely not been reinvented, as the library itself hasn't really changed much to the outside in eight years other than the adoption of hooks and a few incremental advances.
Please spare the condescending "I’m happy for you" part. You're clearly not part of the industry that is using React in a stable way, and you don't seem to want to be part of. Even if your description of the React ecosystem were true, you're clearly on a personal vendetta here and has no intention to see anything change for the better.
