      1. There's a longer blog post to be written about this, but I'm not sure I can be arsed: Complicated and advanced websites are hard to code, so we created tools, like React etc, to make it *easier*. Except now a slew of originally easy things are now hard, complex or require hacks

      Simple example: want different URLs in an spa? Use react router. Want to redirect to a different origin? Ah, no, that's not possible. Want to link to a different origin? Ah, don't use the Link component use the anchor element (not documented).

    (this isn't a failing of react router, this is a failing of us devs who solve problems with code often buying hidden complexity along the way)
