Today I finally published a whopper of a post I've been working on for almost two months. I hope you enjoy it.

Things you forgot (or never knew) because of React

If you don't often look beyond established comfortable defaults, you might be surprised to learn just how far the world of frontend has moved away from React, and how big that gap continues to grow.

@collinsworth Thanks for this, this was a good read!

I particularly agree with the critique on hooks (specifically useEffect, useMemo, and useCallback) and two-way binding.

The server-side rendering section looks off though. React has had SSR for ages (Next was always built on React SSR), it's React Server Components that's a new feature (which encompasses more than simply rendering a page on the server)

Would also love a more in-depth article on why you *should* use Svelte :)
