Not the author, but my opinion on the matter is that react already has too many abstractions and helpers, which just adds to the problem. React is difficult to grok on its own. Adding another framework to the tech stack just makes it worse if you don't already have a fluent understanding of the layers beneath. This is my experience with it, at least.

But that's kind of the point with react: it's just a view library so you're forced to add things to the tech stack until they click together. Of course it helps a lot of you know how all the layers work on their own.
