Or possibly that you haven't paid enough attention to what he wrote. He was very clear to mention that React's productivity wins are significant but wanted to make a point about how important it is to regularly test performance rather than just assuming hype is universally true – or, conversely, that people talking about native browser performance have done the broad, valid benchmarking needed to support sweeping general claims.
As example of the difference, you're reacting defensively trying to downplay real concerns which are easily encountered on any large project and attack the source rather than engage with the actual demonstrated problem. That might feel good but unfortunately problems aren't fixed by pointing out that the reporter works for what you perceive as The Other Team.
I'm glad to see actual React developers are responding differently by trying to improve performance on weak points:

This is clearly the effect Paul Lewis wanted from his post and it's the one which improves things for everyone who uses React.
