Horrible? That goes a bit far my friend, it sounds like you're trolling ... let's try to put the points you mentioned in perspective:

  • if React is really that bad, is Vue any better then, or Svelte, or any other SPA framework?

  • is the problem just with "SPA" for that matter? SPA are 'apps' really, so you say that apps aren't any good - how come people are downloading them by the millions?

  • if slow load time (time to first paint, whatever) is the problem, then what about SSR (Next.js) or SSG (Gatsby)? which fixes most of the issues I'd say

  • your argument "it's made by Facebook" must be a joke ... so your opinion about e.g. Vue or Svelte is more favorable then? (not made by a big company)

Vue, Svelte etc don't have to better for me to acknowledge that react is bad. I never said anything about SPAs, you're engaging in "WHATABOUTISM". And all the things you mentioned, SSR etc are clear examples to how horrible it is. It got to the point were we're reinventing the wheel, and doing it badly.

And It seems like you're replying to the wrong person.

Well I was only trying to clarify what point exactly you're trying to make, but never mind, no offense ...
