It's important to understand that virtual DOM *isn't a feature*. It's a means to an end the end being declarative, state-driven UI development. Virtual DOM is valuable because it allows you to build apps without thinking about state transitions, with performance that is *generally good enough*. That means less buggy code, and more time spent on creative tasks instead of tedious ones. It's important to understand that virtual DOM *isn't a feature*.
