React-by-default has hidden costs. Here's a case for making deliberate choices to select the right framework for the job. React Won by Default – And It’s Killing Frontend Innovation React is no longer winning by technical merit. Today it is winning by default. That default is now slowing innovation across the frontend ecosystem. When teams need a new frontend, the conversation rarely starts with “What are the constraints and which tool best fits them?” It often starts with “Let’s use React; e
