Building a doctor's appointment website with a form and a calendar widget? Use vanilla JS or jQuery.
Buidling the next Google Docs or Notion app? Use React/Angular, etc.
99% of the people that use React use it to build the former and then debate endlessly about their little teets and toots of JSX, Redux, Router library, etc. FFS, it is overkill and unnecessary. Simplify, go home on time and enjoy your the time with your family.

If I remember correctly they're switching to canvas-based rendering. Same thing with VSCode, they don't use a framework. I'm not sure about Notion, as I don't use it much, but I've never been impressed by the performance too. I think your best bet for React/Angular is around "medium complexity", so a typical web app that isn't that complex.
