1. React is still absolutely terrible for web performance
  
  One of the oft-repeated myths I hear from framework evangelists is that tools like React are better for performance because “they use a virtual DOM instead of the real DOM.” First, that’s objectively false. In certain situations (like UIs with comically large amounts of div nesting) moving DOM diffing to a virtual layer can improve the performance of that specific step. But eventually, they have to touch the real DOM. That’s how you manipulate and update elements.

  @alcinnz It has always amazed me that people looked at the performance of Facebook’s web UI and said “I’ll use what they’re using”.
