> Instead, they are midway through porting Rails views to use React, keeping most pages looking identical while introducing bugs and regressing previous usability improvements on a weekly basis. A real shame

I predicted this the moment I saw the React dev tools icon going blue when browsing GitHub. My comment (which I can’t find right now, I’m on my phone) was along the lines of them going the “Reddit way”. A totally worse experience for the end user just for the happiness of the React fanboys working there.

I already can’t stand the code browsing UI, which randomly closes or open a sidebar as you navigate back, or the search input which doesn’t even look good to me. What a total shame they’re messing it up so badly. GitHub had one of the best UIs in my opinion, and they’re just messing it up for the sake of keeping some devs happy.



Replying to myself because I can't edit: Found my comment about this from 10 months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33583737

Not that this has any merit, as it could be seen from far away by anyone with > 5 years experience in this field.

And this just will just get worse, specially for end users. Let's see where we're in 10 months from now.
