I am fundamentally skeptical of anything that needs a runtime for anything other than security and profiling.

I am extra skeptical of any framework that needs 50mb memory baseline.

I am triple skeptical of anything that uses brand-new packages and components like legos.

*Iterations on React are welcome.*

Well, you can be skeptical, and the enterprise front-end engineers are going to go right on using that stuff because it scales to large codebase.

Yes, right up until said startups and enterprises 1. cannot afford the outrageous cloud expense or 2. Need to scale to low-power devices (such as wearables) and to customers who are security conscious

Don't worry, they're doing fine. Anyway, we were talking about React, to which none of those objections apply.
