React is simple it's just a few hundred lines of code, it's easy to understand in an afternoon. Just make sure you pull in a JSX transpiler, and something to do your routing, oh and you'll want something to store your state of course, don't forget that - oh remember to pull in the right version of the transpiler that support decorators for your state management (you do know what decorators are, right?). What do you mean you have a conflicting dependency in your existing codebase? Just fork that repo and upgrade it, that won't take long and cause a bunch of other problems.
