Anything except React.

Nearly every project I saw coded in React was abandoned by its original creator - from OSS to client-work. Most people don't even know JS yet they try to learn React. That leads to spaghetti code and code plumbers who copypaste answers from StackOverflow.

The very community that React boasts with is what's terrible. And there's many of them.

People who excel in programming are exceptional individuals. And if there's tens of millions of people working in React field, are they exceptional or could it be they're merely pretending they are?

React attracts low-talent because there's promise of money. Untrained individual can only contribute to a huge mess and then leave/get fired. That's precisely what happens. And that's what React's community is. I don't care if anyone gets offended, it's a fact.

Beware of what you do and remember that programmers are people who figure problems out first and then they provide solutions. Frameworks are mere tools in this equation, not vocation. Ones specializing in frameworks are impostors, you want to become engineer/programmer and not code plumber whose only tool is cool framework of the year.
