It’s not that it wasn’t possible, but it was really fiddly keeping the HTML up to date with all state changes, and having the rendered template match up with what the JavaScript wanted to do.
I ended up having to cut a lot of features to make projects happen on time, and adding a new complex feature to an existing site coded with unobstrusive JavaScript was always felt like a full rewrite.
Doing it with React though is like being back to working with desktop GUIs. Anything you want we can do.
In the older days, anything that had to be a complex webapp would be easier done as a java applet, or a flash app.
