For reactivity and better front-end apps architecture mainly.

I remembered struggling maintaining the code on a jQuery application. React feels a lot more complicated at first sight but you just can't go back once you used it.

I agree, for simple things plain JS or jQuery is actually a good choice but React makes most dynamic UI much easier to read, create and maintain.
