Actually one of the reasons why I believe react is better than other frameworks is that it has a larger community support and, great development tooling and it has tons of different libraries for every use case. Also I should mention that react has maintained a much more stable API compared to Angular and Vue at this point.

From my perspective, these things make react the best choice for enterprise web application development.

But, react has some trade-offs too. Apart from the advantages of react that were mentioned above, react has some problems too:

  • Too much boilerplate code to write
  • Really complicated state management strategies
  • Too easy to abuse its features and develop applications in a wrong way

Sometimes, it's worth to use react and sometimes it's not. I believe choosing a web app framework depends on the type of project. The framework that fits your project's needs is the perfect choice.
