You may call me junior, although I have over 10 years of programming at different things. But IMO React is hands down best thing happened with frontend. It's beautiful tech. Sometimes I write javascript without frameworks, but I'm doing it just for fun, because I have strange love for tiny code, when entire "webapp" fits in few kilobytes. That's something like demo scene from the old days. I'll never do that for any commercial project.

Right now my position is something like tech lead, at least I do technical decisions in our company. And there's no way I'll allow to write anything complex without React.

And sites are bad not because of React. Sites are bad because of other things. If anything, React helps making sites less bad.

Second best thing is TypeScript. I don't like tooling, though, but I think it gets better.
