🥊 React vs Backbone in 2025

「 The Backbone code is brutally honest about what it's doing. An event fires, a handler runs, you build some HTML, you put it in the DOM. It's verbose, sure, but there's no mystery. A junior developer can trace exactly what happens and when. The mental model is straightforward: "when this happens, do this."

The React code hides a lot 」

@jbz Oh I liked backbone. Are there similar frameworks / libraries around that take advantage of modern JavaScript without being “simpler react”?
