Nobody denies React and co. are excellent tools. The frustration occurs when people who enjoy these tools claim that, if you choose not to use them, or suggest they're not fit for a certain task, you're WRONG. In the case of React in particular, this happens a lot. Then of course the people who don't want to use a framework feel frustrated, and next thing you know it's a flame war. I've seen this happen multiple times on Twitter.

This happened when Mongo started getting popular, too. Mongo supporters would get nasty if you suggested using a relational database. That, eventually, cooled off. Hopefully this "React or nothing" phase will too.

I run into very few people who claim this.. oh you mean on Twitter? well there's the problem.
Twitter is where a large percentage of web devs hang out. If something is problematic, you can't dismiss it as "but that's just Twitter". If it's a common mode of discourse on Twitter, then it's legitimately a part of developer culture.
In any case, discussions around front end frameworks and especially React are scarcely any better here. Although they are usually politer at least.

This isn't true, Twitter is a place where a large percentage of Twitter users who are interested in web development talk about it.
Twitter is not a lens on the entire internet, it is a lens on a bubble of a bubble.
