Honest question, but why is React unique in offering component encapsulation? I see this more of a structural paradigm than something a framework allows for or limits against.



It’s probably not unique in that aspect. I just happen to have quite a bit of experience in React. And that “componentization” only made sense to me when I started using React.


I think it's something about developers who only use React that think React is extremely unique. I hear stuff like this all the time, "How do you use redux with Angular" like redux couldn't possible apply to anything else. Pretty much all the frameworks provide a component based architecture, this isn't a unique thing to react. You choose react for it being extremely popular, JSX, relatively small footprint (unless you start using it as a framework).
