IMHO, there's a bit of an irony that I see with a lot of React projects: people often say that w/ vanilla JS, you end up reinventing wheels poorly, yet this is exactly what a lot of React projects I see look like: people that don't really have framework-building experience attempting to cobble up something similar in scope to Angular or Ember by using React + a bunch of other libraries (often libraries they've never used before).

There's certainly a case to be made about large teams being a problem of their own, but FWIW, a lot of projects _don't_ have large frontend teams (I'd say 1 to 3 frontend devs is fairly typical). Standardization _across_ teams can definitely be a problem, but at some point one has to wonder if it isn't more sensible to just have each teams develop separate apps that load in separate pages, or, you know, just use a more batteries-included, prescriptive framework.
