before component models, everything was a global

Before react and vue everyone could create a mess, but it was not mandatory. Desktop frameworks always used sorts of controller hierarchy vs view hierarchy separation and didn’t store global data. There was decent ui before web/react (though it may sound crazy to react guys).

I don't think anyone understood that for the first 5 years of React

I bet that millions of developers who were not on the ~awesome hype train~ would look at this statement with a great confusion.

I’m not a react guy though, can someone explain where the data usually resides now? Right in a component state, I guess?
