OnlyOffice works better than LibreOffice, which is a native app.
Photopea works better than GIMP, which is a native app.
These devs clearly know what they're doing.
React and all the packages you champion were created to foster job security by introducing needless complexity and performance issues.

This kind of reaction reminds me of people who can’t fathom why anyone would use a database without an ORM. (And meanwhile I’m confused because nearly everything I do with a database would be twice as difficult and ten times slower with an ORM in the way.)
I used to hate ORMs like you. But auto generated types were the killer feature.
