At the moment yes, given that things I'm improving is an old (2012) Dojo application where the closest thing to a component is a function call that concatenates HTML, CSS and JS together. Yes that's JS-in-a-JS-string, it's er, interesting.

I'm dealing with thousands of fields with hundreds of different validations (usually min/max values or regular expressions), React is not the only one that can solve this, but at the moment I don't regret my decision. And with hooks and functional components, they're really compact - compared to e.g. Angular, which is more aimed at Java/C# developers I believe in terms of formality and verbosity.
