You can tell how lopsided the discussion is here by how many people here think it's some sort of badge of honor that they're a "back-end guy" who barely even touches the client instead of feeling sheepish how far removed they are from the user experience and thus the concerns of how hard it is to build a good client and the tools that improve it.
A good example of this is how many "back-end guys" here think it's Javascript and web tech that are hard/annoying instead of all client tech due to the nature of building user-facing software that has to run on a 1,000,000 devices instead of sysops-facing software that runs on one server.
Be wary of anyone who just peddles downsides without acknowledging trade-offs. They don't have much experience (You can have 20+ years of dev experience while inexplicably avoiding this sort of realization). Right now there's someone in the top thread saying they literally don't know a single company that didn't regret using Angular/React. Oh bother. This sort of person just has to ask, but they don't because they prefer to cling on to their little sneering world view.
If someone seriously can't say why anyone could prefer React (or any other tech, like JS or PHP or jQuery) without a cynical disparaging trait like these people are just idiots, simply write this person off and seek more even-keeled opinions about the world.
