If Angular-style apps were so easy to make with MVC then nobody would have bothered. I don't know what kind of ubermensch coders you've worked with, but every piecemeal ajaxified pile of templates I've looked at has been a confusing mess, and, as big and confusing as something like Angular might be, I can't see it being worse.

I like React more, though. At least conceptually. Hell, even Vue. Take this with giant salt grains because I have still not made the jump to JS everything style webshits.

So I asked this question being in the middle of taking a class on it. Now that I've gotten further into the class, it's pretty much just a small framework for building in-browser applications. I compared it to MVC because I was seeing a ton of similarities where they accomplish the exact same things, but MVC projects are for more traditional websites serving individual pages and a traditional navigation model. I think a better comparison now would be to XBAPs. Exact same concept (embedded browser application), but not relying on a third party framework or browser plugin (and not as restricted or deprecated). And as Shnibble alluded to below, it has the same drawback of being an embedded application: you have a big-ass up-front download to download the "application" files.

So I guess if I had the need for a browser app I'd go with it, but I can't see using it for a traditional site.

                Yes. React is FRP-inspired and FRP is nigh panacea by Entropy Stew 10/19/2017, 10:26pm PDT NEW
