If you are building static sites, all you are doing with reactjs is abstracting parts via components, right? All it takes is to actually write the html that goes into a component, rather than the component. I don't see how any react dev wouldn't be able to do this. Also, I, too, would rather use react. I'd rather be able to reuse components I already have or to make some to reuse later, and to keep the project organized in that way, plus future-proofing the project to a certain degree.
