React is not a framework. It's merely a library to abstract away the messy parts of building UIs. There's very little to actually learn as it's just JS and JSX (which is nothing to learn if you already know HTML and have worked with templates).
The React core team would disagree with that. It really depends on definition.
That being said, perhaps my wording was too strong. The point I was trying to make was that React provides relatively little outside of the DOM abstraction and has little in the way of magic syntax, etc. It's extreme fast to learn for someone with JS experience.
It isn't until you start layering on other libraries like Redux that things get complicated, but there is absolutely no requirement to do that.
