“We value API stability because at Facebook we have more than 20 thousand components using React. This means that we are reluctant to change public APIs or behavior because teams depend on it both externally and internally.”— Facebook React Team, facebook.github.io
“Components written by different people should work well together. It is important to us that you can add functionality to a component without causing rippling changes throughout the codebase.”— Facebook React Team, facebook.github.io
