Ask HN: Is React Dead?

4 owebmaster 10 8/15/2025, 9:32:43 PM

At least here in HN.

I just went over the 30 pages of news that HN let's you browse and among 892 stories, none of them are about React.

Nobody cares about React in HN anymore. Is this good or bad?

I stand by Theo's opinion: React is the last framework, and it won't ever die.

Having come from traditional HTML/css/js back in the day and recently picking up react js in the last 5 months.

I agree with the sentiment.

How much discussion did you find about other JavaScript frameworks?

owebmaster · 12h ago

not many actually, but there were a few about CSS and custom elements. And many about MCP and AI.

React is a stable platform, not much to talk about other than big breaking changes. Its just not exciting but a hell of a lot of people us it.

PaulHoule · 11h ago

I use it at work. My current side projects mostly use HTMX but I have some other ones planned out where I could possibly use React or possible use Vue or Svelte or something like that. I like the idea of Svelte a lot but (1) I can feed any React experience back to work, (2) I know how to draw almost anything in React which is not true about Vue -- Vue's rendering model reflects the way i think about web applications but I don't feel it's as flexible, and (3) I am interested in developing applications for WebXR and three.js, A-Frame and such are... based on React.

I think that is how a technology dies tho. We are just missing the new exciting thing.

Just like a battery or a tree, something starts dying long before it is dead. And while it is dying, it appears very much alive.

I'd say blogging about your stack, extracting some blob of work and polishing it up into modules to share, publishing opinionated alternatives, all that kind of stuff being a kind of wide-net tool for hiring developers has come to an end.

With development evolving towards AI deciding what your stack is and starting your project for you and writing half your code, react is probably going to be here forever since it happened to be entrenched when that landed.

I have never used react, I have never known anyone to ever use it.

React is very much not dead and is absolutely not going to die anytime soon.

Recently I was researching what's the new best ways to theme a website. Tailwind seemed popular for my purposes. I do CSS flex pretty much all the time.

But react was definitely in every 2025 review/guide I saw.
