Solid JS is what I would have chosen. Not sure if they considered it. Best performance and dev experience with least 'magic' of all frameworks I've tried.
still doesnt have scoped styles, animation, state mgmt, head management, etc out of the box, all minimum things i look for to be productive
1. user 2. client 3. document
and within document its in "components", but those are unknown from the start so we defer the details (which must not but can lead to "wild west"). programming is hard, thought. would love to have that holy grail solved, too (apart from the famous three column layout).
Err, I'd have a hard time not to see that as a major benefit first of all?
And as the latest and greatest omnipotent entry in it, so my guess would be theirs authors were aware of it.
/edit: thanks for pointing me to solid, it shined a lot of light to me in context of the article.
