I feel your pain. I'm a backend guy who has to learn front end all of the sudden. To my mind, React just makes sense. I understand that other modern frameworks like Angular and Ember "make sense" as well, in that they're current best implementations of well-understood best practice, but from my outsider perspective, it looks as complicated and baroque as Catholic theology. Yes, it's all very beautiful and such, but I don't know if I'll ever be able to instinctively grok it. React? I grok that.
