What advice would you say to someone who just who's only about 6 months in ( learning React ) ? A. Its not been that long.. walk away and learn something else. B. If you've put in the time try to get something out of it. C. I don't know what the whole fuss is about your not going to be building anything worth facebook's time anyway.



If this is for your own personal projects or your startup...you should just keep using React. Seriously, unless you've got millions of dollars to bring a patent suit against Facebook (do you even have any patents to defend?), this should not even be on your radar. You should be focused on building great product and execution: not patent litigation.


Don't ever hope of selling your business if it takes off though. The above may not apply to your potential buyers.


I really fail to see that. With Microsoft, Apple, Salesforce, Yahoo, Amazon, and many other big names using React in production...Chances are the acquiring company is already using React in some form. Furthermore, the value of your company is not in which front end framework you choose, it's in your distribution and product value to end users. If you really needed to rewrite your front-end in Preact (a drop-in replacement for React) or Vue, in order to satisfy a buyer, you could easily do so.


Thanks for clearing that up.
