React is a little bit painful and massive overkill for web forms actually (compared to other approaches).

It’s the fighting with it that’s the issue; my experience is that a lot of devs go in to “force this stupid framework to work” mode and blow up tasks that should be 10 lines of code with no edge cases into 50 or 100 which “mostly works, good enough.”

React is by far the most adopted framework for desktop-level or near-desktop-level web applications.
