"Handling React well" is subjective. What are you building?

I'm not sure what "architected" means in this context. But re: complex and deep -
React is complex to the extent that you need to build complex things. It is deep to the extent the developer requires. This is a great aspect of its composable design - it's just components made of components made of...etc.
But people don't learn React by building huge, complex, deep things. They build simple things, and go from there. In this respect, React does a great job with documentation. They start small.
- woofie11 6y agoIt's deep and complex in the same way Lisp is deep and complex. Or if you don't know Lisp, a weaker analogy is Go. I'm a huge fan of React, but without understanding of why it is, people use it wrong all the time.
