In reply to Peter.

Is it still developing using ReactJS?

Yep. Per Matt Mullenweg there’s supposed to be an “announcement”or something..... soon.

2. We anticipated a decision on React around the Apache deadline (closer to now), will have more to announce about WP and Gutenberg’s approach here in the next few weeks.

Meanwhile development marches on relentlessly, to paraphrase the article, so it’s kind of clear what’s going to happen.

I can live with all the other issues being raised but it’s the React issue that really bothers me. I don’t even understand how it’s a question. I know that a ton of work has already went in to the product and it would suck to start over, but if that’s what has to be done then that’s just what has to be done. Too bad, sucks, lesson learned, whatever. Pick another library.

Again, how is this even a question? To me it seems like a slap in the face to have development moving forward full tilt while this major issue remains outstanding - with zero meaningful communication from project leadership, other than stalling, which Matt’s response is, quite frankly.

I’m so grateful for WordPress, it’s completely changed my life and helped me to build a meaningful career doing something I love. This juncture, to me, it’s just sad, and extremely disappointing.

Blah.
