and what's your experience writing other markup languages that you base this statement on? I can definitely agree it is nicer for a data intensive sites, and with effort can be made somewhat equivalent in most document heavy sites, but there are definitely some scenarios I've encountered where the match of technology to use case was disastrously not in React's favor.

Specifically I can think of parts of the websites' functionality is editing highly technical structured data documents by highly trained domain experts.

I mean basically where years of developer productivity was thrown down a React hole when it could have been months in SGML / XML based tooling for what was required.

I can say that because I have built big solutions in both stacks, though.

I've used many, Handlebars, Pug, Vue's, Svelte's, Zola's, many. They're all somewhat similar in that they try to recreate loops and conditionals, all without strong type support unlike in JSX. I've never used SGML though, another commenter told me that it is more powerful.
