I really appreciate this perspective, John. As I mentioned in the introduction, we often find ourselves clinging to dogmatic views based on some bad experiences or simply because nuance is hard.
I also think the “opinionated frameworks like React” part is more like a misunderstanding a lot of folks have about React. The truth is React works based on referential equality, so its only opinion on mutation is that you shouldn’t mutate an object if you expect React to detect that change and take an action based off of it.
Anyways, thank you so much for the thoughtful response!
My thoughts on React being opinionated is based on how it demands its own way of doing things. For example just look at how it did styling. React is 20 times less opinionated than Angular which is good. The advent of webassembly brings all discussions like these to an end. We now have the ability to write entire websites using c# and it's huge set of class libraries. Cool
