"In the same way, every React app eventually starts to look and act like the Reddit redesign, but many web developers consider that more of a benefit than a drawback." - Erm, nope. You might be talking about people relying on UI component libraries, which has nothing to do with React.

I've been using React full time almost since its first release and I somewhat agree with the previous comment. While the choice of framework usually doesn't really restrict what can be done; it's often easier/harder to do specific things with a given framework.

For example; animations responding to user interactions are easier to do in frameworks with an OOP approach. It is generally more "different" in a declarative way. So most React apps simply don't have those. There are lots of small things like this that over time make React apps feel Reacty.
