   1. use this web component, it has zero dependencies, weighs 4KB, shipped in 2018—still works great

   2. OR, you can use this react component—it has many dependencies, requires a transpiler, weighs 200KB+, uses outdated react best practices from 3 months ago

   you gotta choose #2, right? otherwise they’re gonna make fun of you

     @gabek @zachleat Because it's a user-hostile monstrosity. Regardless of whether you like or hate it as a dev.

     @zachleat A common sense response about React. You're supposed to shame everyone who's ever even looked at it, or keep your mouth shut.

     @zachleat I know it's not popular around here, but I'll bite. I think it's more like if you already use React, you'd use the React component. If you don't, you wouldn't set up an entire React environment for a single component. You'd do something else.
