Should we still be using React in 2024, or is it outdated?

I still use React daily in 2024, and honestly, it's the right call for most projects I touch—especially in our FinTech space where maintainability and team scaling matter. The ecosystem is crazy mature; you won't find better libraries for state management (Recoil, Zustand), or robust testing solutions (React Testing Library, Jest, Cypress). Plus, Next.js integration is seamless now, including those shiny server components you mentioned. Complexity only becomes a pain if you let it spiral—good architecture and clear patterns go a long way. That said, I’ve experimented with alternatives like Solid.js for a small internal tool last month. Build times were insane (almost instant), and reactivity felt more natural. But when I had to hand it off to a junior dev who’d never touched Solid, onboarding was rough—React has become the universal language in most teams. So unless you’re building something super performance-sensitive or working solo/on a small team, sticking with React reduces friction long-term. Just structure your code well and don’t over-engineer it.
