We use an event driven JavaScript MVC framework in our application, but have performance problems with larger data sets. We've implemented many of the same techniques used in React to alleviate our issues (render on intervals, compare data state and only update what changed), but I'm worried we are going down the road of implementing our own, less complete, framework. Before we adopt React for our data heavy UIs, what are the alternatives?

React Javascript is an indisputably great language for programming web pages and applications, and within that JS spectrum, it is still unchallenged. There are other players in the arena, but professional web app developers would confirm that React still remains on top of others in 2022.
Is React Still Relevant in 2021? The short answer is YES! As we can see from the benefits listed in this article, it is easy to see why React is still enjoying its popularity in 2021. It was voted the 2nd most popular web framework for professional developers, only falling behind jQuery (see above) in 2020.
React uses virtual dom for updating the UI without having to reload the whole page. It generates overhead code during runtime. So React is better for robustness as it uses error boundaries to prevent crashes, whereas Svelte does not. The Svelte is also good but it doesn't have as much flexibility as React.
Check out RiotJS. It's super-lightweight (just a few kbs) and it's way easier to use.
Riot brings custom tags to all browsers, including IE8. Think React + Polymer but with ejoyable syntax and a small learning curve.
