My problem with react is that there are so many ways to do the same things that reusability and refactoring becomes harder than it should be.

I usually found 3-4 ways of styling in a medium codebase on github. I find varying degrees of state management - some built with context and hooks, some imported and traditional mobx/redux. I haven't found many significant opportunities to reuse code without refactoring a lot or doing micro files of 7 lines of code and separating logical components.

I now think of react as a library to build your own frameworks. It aligns perfectly with the javascript ecosystem mentality.

Just started looking at Spring Boot (w/Kotlin).

Never try it. A bazillion ways to do basic web service & web things and every google search returns different methods.

Nightmare.

Did you look at https://spring.io/guides ? Building a REST service is one of the examples.
