I'm really waiting on useEffectEvent which would solve some ugly hacks.

I hope it progresses from the 'experimental' phase soon.

The fact that it did not while the tutorial on react.dev absolutely points towards this and also the fact of no release since 2022 made me start looking for React alternatives. There is a scent of a decline in the air.

I believe there is no alternative to react, all other major JS framework are far behind react in many aspects, having one single part of react that does not satisfy your requirements cant be solved by moving to another framework

You are correct, @hussam22. Finding an alternative to React is indeed very challenging.

I wish to find out for my own use cases there is or isn't a viable alternative. By viability I mean for an enterprise app you have everything: form handling, UI components, internationalization support.
Funnily enough, react-query is already ported to solid-query. @tanstack is working on it.

The decline may be slow, but it is good to be aware of it.

Hey everyone! I'm super excited about the new features in React 19. I've actually written an article about it, breaking down what's changing and what it means for developers like us. If you're curious to learn more, check out my article React 19.

Having the Form action be a function will also be super handy, versus an onSubmit handler, and it automatically uses the FormData object, which in many cases is all you need — no need for 2-way state binding in each of the fields
