Description
Wanted to make a formal issue to suggest a feature request for Why React? based on this Twitter thread from @sophiebits . Personally agree I think it would be great to give context to newcomers to have a page explaining why Frontend Development has shifted towards React, what React offers.
Someone on the thread linked this resource
https://jlongster.com/Removing-User-Interface-Complexity,-or-Why-React-is-Awesome
Which has a lot of good insight
