One alternative is the Model-View-Update framework developed in the Elm language [1]. A few years ago, it influenced Redux [2], but JS doesn't have good ergonomics to support it, so people complained it was too verbose. Anyway, I brought Elm to the company I worked at two jobs ago, and it worked very well, since it is conceptually very simple. The experienced developers loved its explicitness, which made it possible to build a very intricate app from just a few dependencies, which in turn allowed the company to have a very fine-grained control of the UI, and the customers loved the result. On the other hand, other less experienced developers didn't like Elm so much because React allows you to write your app with fewer lines of code. The article from this discussion explains well that React (especially with hooks) hides complexity, which bites people later. At that time, it is perhaps too late to switch to something else. Needless to say, I haven't been able to convince any other employer to use Elm, and then I see issues popping out all the time that would never happen with it. Such a waste, just because people like shiny toys and just follow what others around them are doing without thinking too much.
