On: Yahoo Mail moving to React

It's funny that this showed up on the front page, because yesterday I logged into an old Yahoo email account for the first time in a few years and was absolutely astounded at how awful the UI was.

You can create an awful UI with any technology.

libaries like Bootstrap make you built less awful UI ,but very generic

[debacle → mkawia]

True, if you adhere to Bootstrap's methods, you'll create a less terrible static UI, but you can still create awful data representation and transitions.

The UI has almost literally nothing to do with the backend technologies.

Unless you're unfortunate enough to be working GWT or something similar.

Well, this submission is also about switching to React. The headline on the React website is "A JavaScript library for building user interfaces", so I figured my anecdote was relevant.
