GitHub is moving to react for the web UI? Sad, Rails offers ways to deliver async updating views with websockets ala Elixir Liveview. I’ve pretty much abandoned Vue after discovering how much easier it is to maintain by keeping as much as possible in Rails. Not just myself but the whole team works quicker that way, backend people often know enough frontend but might not know the depths of Vue/React so it creates delays by distributing simple tasks. Plus the whole mass duplication of logic (permissions, models, etc).

You’d need to some pretty serious “desktop style” (hate that phrase) UI complexity to demand React and I’m not fully seeing where GitHub needs that.

Maybe they want to make GitHub like VSCode in the browser?
