I work on a pretty huge and old application. Parts of it are written using php/vanillaJs, a large part of it uses jquery, a huge section is backbone/marionette, and we started a new section using React last year.

React is a huge improvement, I agree it’s overkill for a lot of projects, but it is objectively easier, less prone to breaking, and more human readable than other front end frameworks. It is a bit overwhelming at first but for mid-large projects it is totally incomparable doing a modern react/redux/TS project vs jquery or something
