This is just an ad.

I wish software developers would be more honest about their tools, weighing their pros and cons, instead of thinking up contrived 'examples' that paint them in the best possible light.

Every library/tool/framework will make you think "well, this sucks" at some point. So be honest.

I tend to see the problem as the point where people stop thinking of them as tools and more part of their self-identity. If learning how to use React makes you more productive, it’s only reasonable to use it on your next project. The problem starts when you start thinking “using React makes me a Real Programmer™ like the cool kids at Facebook” and that turns every discussion into a tribal loyalty test.
