This has been a year of consolidation for React.
With the community still reeling from the introduction of React Server Components, the lack of any major breaking changes was very welcome.
Instead, React 19 focused on taking a lot of our pain away, from making forwardRef obsolete, to diffs for hydration errors, to a new compiler that makes our code more performant with minimal extra work on our part.
Yet while React itself may be trying to calm things down, the ecosystem is still innovating at a furious pace. For example, an ongoing story over the past year has been the TanStack team leveraging TanStack Query's success into the creation of TanStack Start, a potential challenger to Next.js' meta-framework crown – especially for those who aren't ready to embrace the server-first approach.
But for now at least, let's take a breather and celebrate the relative stability of the world's most popular JavaScript library.
Please noe that this in an unofficial survey unaffiliated with Meta, Vercel, or the React team.
