I do react professionally. EVERY DAY. And yes I agree with you to a large extent. I just don't think it's react specifically. Take for instance, building an address form. In the year 2016 this has never been more difficult. What used to be two hours of html/css/jquery, has been turned into a nightmare of our own design. React and other heavy hitters do serve a purpose, but I think it's fair to say that things are harder now than ever.

We live in a world where many js devs only know js, this wasn't true 10 or even 5 years ago.
