That's not what I see and hear though. People complain often about how complex things become with React and simple things take a long time to set up or develop, compared to rendering a simple template on the server side.

Usually people are not FB and people often do not have the same kind of strict development rules or enforced discipline, nor are they as many people as FB. Maybe the FB tool is not right for them.

Where React usually gets complicated is when non-trivial state gets involved.

Once you have state that needs to span your application and prop-drilling becomes too much of a drag, the misalignment between React's "pretend we're going to redraw everything" and "I'm only changing this one field in my state" causes most of the issues with React.
