Best summary of the state of react I have read so far after programming with it for 2 years. You should write an article about it!

Stuff like this is rarely part of the sales pitch for any framework. You only find out after being locked in neck deep. Still from all the browser gui frameworks I think react is the safest choice.

Why? Well it is reliable and scalable enough and create-react-app makes the whole experience acceptable. It will not get you into trouble. Choosing any of its non-mainstream competitors might get you into deep shit if the project fails. Choosing any of its mainstream competitors like Vue or Angular seems like not a big improvement over react (if it even is) and will make you go into defensive mode anytime a junior dev knows that feature x would have been easier to implement in react.
