Without a doubt, the SharePoint Framework is one of the most successful adoptions and customisation models that has ever found its way into SharePoint, and there are reasons for this.
Over the past years, I talked and worked together with many developers that haven’t ever touched SharePoint before or found its way into this Application.
Many of those had a background in C# while, especially for a branding project, was more living in the web world. The overall feedback was that it is this kind of development unique in many ways.
