> This is wrong. Naive React code is rarely fast in relative terms. Do you remember Ryan Florence's talk Hype at ReactConf 2015, where he compared React performance to that of Ember and Angular 1 [0]? Back in 2015, in relative terms, React seemed fast ! [0] [VIDEO]

Posting benchmarking without full source code is bad. And you should feel bad. I remember seeing people bashing angular 1.2/3 for its speed and then looking at their source and they weren't using some of the most powerful features cough cough react conf ( [VIDEO] ) This ended up corrected at some point by some one who looked at the source code, forked it and made it perform on par with the react version. I don't doubt the vanilla JS is faster (in this case) but really, you need to make your source available before posting to your blog. Benchmarking in a fair way is hard, and you are damaging the public perception of a (from what I hear) a great framework. Maybe this is justified, but at least give the fanboys a chance to call you out - maybe everyone will learn something new.
