Chiming in to not let you feel alone in this. React feels like you're doing low-level assembly in an esoteric functional language that ought to be simulated in javascript, but due to limitations of the latter you have to simulate it by hand, by following the manual. Looks absolutely delusional to everyone who catched peak ui phases like Cocoa and UIKit. I remember writing custom components in Obj-C and never thinking about all the nonexistent issues which React claims to be a perfect solution for every few years.
