If you use React, have a look at React Bricks. It has a great foundation for Devs based on React components, but with top visual editing experience for Content editors. To be clear, I am the founder :) What do you think about it?

I fundamentally disagree with some of React's design decisions, like intermingling state, behavior and styling. I hope time will come, when people realize again, why these things were intentionally separated in the past.

React makes user stylesheets more difficult to write and in my experience often creates tons of overhead in the DOM tree. Often sites do not use SSR, so all they show me is a white screen (because why care about adding any note about the site only working with tons of JS?) and I close the tab. When React sites actually work somewhat, they are usually sluggish and break basic browser functionality like the back button, bookmarkability and others. It takes a lot of care to avoid these issues, when developing with React, so I am not a fan of React or things based on React.

For me personally React is somewhat of a plague of the "modern web". I am sorry to express it this harshly. React and its ilk create a lot of pain for me. Not everything has to be a SPA. Most things actually do not have to be a SPA.
