React may or may not be the best choice today but one thing to remember is that every single UI framework today (Vue, Angular and even beyond Web: Flutter, SwiftUI) borrowed React's component model and I am glad they did. It's such a beautiful abstraction and so much more manageable than anything we had before it.

Interesting observation given that Angular, Dojo, even BackboneJS came out before React, all going for a component-based UI framework.

  Angular 1 was a mess of filters, controllers, scopes, directives, services and what not. The only closest thing to what we call a component today in their was directive but it was never the main abstraction BackboneJS was MVC iirc? Don't remember if they had any notion of self contained component but it was very different from the MVVM paradigm react introduced. No experience with Dojo so can't comment but I remember MVC being the paradigm with most mindshare before React became popular.
