FWIW I think React is horrible for web. It brings back the (bad) feel of flash web apps from over a decade ago.

  ...what? React isn't even a UI framework, there is no "feel" to it at all.

    "App startup". I.e. loading screen after the webpage was supposedly loaded. Same for transition between states (compared to how regular web pages behave).

      Aren't those the same problems all SPAs face? At least with React you have the option of server rendering to remove your first issue.

      React is actually fairly unique among JS view libraries in allowing you to fully render the site on the server-side. If a site doesn't do this then it's a choice they have made. But at the very least this is not React-specific.
