I kinda got bored halfway through. From what I gather they're salty that GitHub is switching to react? If that's the issue then the headline is rather misleading isn't it?
Surely legacy software is one that drifts into obscurity through lack of investment which is the polar opposite of GitHub rewriting their entire front end..
No, that is not the point at all. React is just an incidental detail she considered while trying to figure out what was going on.
Exactly. The complaint is that a basic feature no longer works as expected.
Crappy old websites that don't behave properly with my browsers search function sound like legacy though. I agree the headline is worded a little strangely but I can see their point.
But their issue isn't the old website. They're complaining about the new version?
Yes, but they said it reminds them of crappy old ones.
That's another issue though. Will it get better or more bloaty webapp, like modern reddit vs. old.reddit?
