It doesn't sound like you know what React is. Let the developer do the job you hired them to do.

- blockwriter 4y agoI do not know what it is in detail. That is part of my concern. Framed another way, should I continue to use this developer that is pushing for React, or should I hire one that wants to use plain Javascript? Would all developers push for React?
- jaredcwhite 4y agoNo, all developers would not push for React, and anyone coming into a web project for the first time suggesting a rewrite in React smacks of bootcamp-era ignorance. There are legit apps where React is indeed the best-suited tool for the task, but that number is surprisingly low. React has become the new "nobody got fired for choosing IBM" and has become just as problematic in our industry. Many projects would be better off with other tools/frameworks or actually just vanilla JavaScript.
- blockwriter 4y agoThanks. This is the feeling I have as well.
