I don’t know if the performance difference is so great, but imho axios make a lot of things easier too work with. Throwing automatic errors if status is abnormal etc, easier json handling and much more. Using fetch usually ends up in either creating a wrapper or using ky for instance.

Maybe it’s outdated info but I found the explanation of Matteo x.com/matteocollin...
Matteo Collina on X: "@ronagy42 @andreslaley fetch is inefficient because: 1. it’s higher level than undici.request(). It trades DX for speed. It allocates more objects. 2. use Web Streams, and they are slower than Node Streams (at least in Node.js) 3. It’s heavier on the GC due to the fire-and-forget scenario." / X

It’s pretty well known that the built-in fetch is not the most performant. I still prefer axios, but if you need fetch use undici

Yes and no, please consider swr swr.vercel.app as a more pluggable alternative. Tanstack query is great but a mix of confusing use cases
React Hooks for Data Fetching – SWR
SWR is a React Hooks library for data fetching. SWR first returns the data from cache (stale), then sends the fetch request (revalidate), and finally comes with the up-to-date data again.

Hot take: the ts/js ecosphere is 80% fighting libraries and frameworks instead of putting all that attention into the feature and logic

Impossible, the shift of .net core needed to happen and also I rather appreciate Microsoft in where it is now. GitHub, copilot no longer in the os business
