Same, used jQuery for years and had a love/hate relationship with it.

You're correct that React solved the imperative problems from before, but that's not the only factor to consider. You have to weigh the problems it solves against the problems that it causes.

Eh. For me, it was vastly worth it. Yes there are drawbacks to react. But I feel like the gains far far far outweigh them.
