Having built a SPA without React it was 100x harder to do it. You had to be careful to update so much state that there was no way really to not break far away stuff when making small local changes. It was a maintenance nightmare.

Yup. And jQuery, awesome as it was, wasn't designed to address the state issue. But it was the best DOM abstraction, so that was the backbone (no pun intended) for many pre-framework applications. It was a spaghetti nightmare.
