As much as we like to think of ourselves as rational beings, emotions are still a very large part of our decision making process. I didn't build Qite because I hate React, I built it because I knew exactly how I wanted things to work. But I do hate React and it's part of why I knew exactly how I wanted things to work.
"hate" is not even an argument. It is obviously for those who dislike React or put it in another way: do not like to or would rather not work with React.
I will safely assume the author dislikes all that overly complex bloat bullshit and leave it at that. I am not going to autism this, as in invent a bunch of straw men to attack because there is some singular obsession silo of react-like fixations.
