If Not React, Then What?

React is no longer recommended for new web projects due to performance and accessibility issues. Teams should focus on user needs and evidence-based decision making when choosing technologies. Key points:

1. Server-generated HTML with progressive enhancement is best for most sites.

2. Single-page apps (SPAs) are suitable only for specific use cases with long sessions and frequent updates.

3. SPA frameworks should be avoided unless necessary.

4. User experience and performance data should drive technology choices.

5. Strict controls on client-side JavaScript ensure fast, accessible sites.

This shift requires rethinking assumptions and prioritizing user needs over convenience or trends.
