I remember thinking I’d like to pick up react for some changes we were planning at work. I spent a weekend with Road to React making a simple web app. I was amazed how overly complicated it seemed and that I was being told “there’s no DSL” but JSX sure seemed like one. I’m a moron and not some special coder so maybe that’s why. I was also using rails 6 at work at the time, but 7 seems to have eliminated any need we thought were were going to have for react so that’s been nice.

Each person that I’ve come across who likes react is super smart and I can’t follow what they are trying to say is so great. So maybe don’t listen to me anyway.
