it can be faster, but is it correct?

React was invented because jQuery style state management collapsed into unmanageable code past a certain size

And it wasn't composable, state was kept in the DOM. Even with higher level libs like backbone we didn't have a component-oriented way like now. Each component had to manually manage all of its child components.

It composes to one level. Each <input> is a component. Is that good enough for your application? For many, it is.

Really sorry to have to say this, but I feel like I'm getting underpaid for the work that I do if people make a living clobbering together input elements and calling it web development.
