Don't mean to be rude, and it certainly seems like React was overkill for your project, but 6 months to generate a react site like you're describing seems like the problem might not have been react. Maybe it was engineering, or maybe it was management, but cranking out a react app that's "completely static or a simple form with less than 5 fields" is something one developer should be able to do in a day or two after reading a basic react tutorial (assuming there are design guidelines)... Which is not to say I'm not sympathetic to bandwagoning having a negative impact on engineering teams. Just that in this case, I find it hard to believe that react specifically was the problem.

> cranking out a react app that's "completely static or a simple form with less than 5 fields" is something one developer should be able to do in a day or two after reading a basic react tutorial I've only done very basic web development during my career, and absolutely no javascript. But, I've been learning React for a week or so and that's something I could do in a few minutes. 6 months is insane, hyperbolic, and probably untrue.

  Yeah, or something other than react is seriously screwed up. I said a couple of days just to have time to do styling (assuming design is already done.)
