The absence of standard widgets makes React awesome?
People compose an entire screen from built-in widgets because usable widgets and layout algorithms make this possible. If you are trying to build more complex screens, people in "classic desktop and mobile UI toolkits" also build own widgets.
Projects like Material-UI are finally dragging frontend development into the 1990s of "classic desktop UI toolkits", only the layout functionality is still sorely missing.
