True. One of the reasons I prefer React over others is it gives a good standardised base to work from, but you can still compose the right set of tools for each project around it. Of course you can still fuck that all up by starting a project and insisting on whatever is popular or that you're familiar with. There's plenty of 'framework-y' libraries out there for React that constrain you in all the wrong ways if that's how you like to roll.
