I'm in the minority in HN, but to me (frontend dev) React is the gold standard. It's simple and flexible, which is everything a framework should be. There are a few old warts and the dev tooling is not perfect, but architecturally it provides a very straightforward structure to what is normally a very chaotic endeavor (building reactive asynchronous UI code). There's not much I would change about it except for removing some stuff (class components and maybe some unused/deprecated features). I almost can't picture a scenario in which you'd need to do something but couldn't do it in React.
