React has become a go-to choice for organizations looking to develop web interfaces and manage code bases efficiently. Its popularity stems from its ability to optimize the re-rendering process, making user interfaces with large data responsive. Users have found that React's component-based architecture and dynamic data handling simplify scalability and maintenance, addressing business problems related to website appearance and maintainability. The lightweight and testable nature of React components allows for seamless UI development and a better developer experience. Additionally, React's fast performance, achieved through its virtual DOM, ensures quick rendering and updating of components. With an active community offering resources and tutorials, React is widely adopted in various departments and organizations for developing websites, content management systems, and full-stack projects with cross-platform compatibility. Its flexibility, ease of use, and integration capabilities with other plugins make it suitable for single-page application development as well. As a result, React continues to gain popularity among developers, leading to its inclusion in upcoming projects and making it an attractive framework for recruitment purposes.

Versatile State Management: Users have praised React for its highly versatile state management capabilities, allowing developers to tailor their solutions based on specific requirements. This flexibility has been appreciated by many reviewers and has enabled them to effectively manage state in their applications.

Efficient Code Organization: Many users have highlighted React's ability to effectively organize code, resulting in a streamlined development process. This feature has allowed developers to maintain a structured and maintainable codebase, facilitating collaboration among team members and making it easier to understand and maintain the code over time.

Improved Performance with Virtual DOM: Reviewers have appreciated React's speed and efficiency, particularly with its virtual DOM implementation. The optimization of re-rendering and display updates has resulted in faster and smoother user interfaces. This improved performance contributes to a better overall user experience when using React-based applications.

Challenging state management: Some users have found React's state management challenging, particularly when dealing with deeply nested components and passing data up or down the component tree. This has led to difficulties in reading and maintaining code.

Steep learning curve: Several reviewers have expressed frustration with the learning curve associated with React, especially for those who are more familiar with other web development patterns. The higher learning curve of thinking in React has been a challenge for some users.

Cumbersome setup process: Setting up React applications, especially when using webpack, can be cumbersome according to user feedback. However, tools like Create React App can help expedite the setup process and mitigate this issue.

  • Our web applications now run much faster because the whole page doesn't reload
  • We spend less time developing UI components because a lot of them are readily available on NPM
  • We don't have to optimize apps for multiple browsers since React natively supports it.

  • React allows a modular design, which is fabulous for A/B testing (showing a different module to each user). Some of these experiments had an improvement as big as to pay for the whole team that coded it. So far we know the ROI has been positive, but I can't provide a number.

  • It has made hiring easy, as React developers are plentiful since it's a very popular technology.
  • It has sped up development simply by virtue of being an excellent programming tool.
  • It has standardized the way our organization shares components between teams.

  • React has allowed us to build features faster, allowing us to ship new content frequently for our customers.
  • React is well supported and has a huge community. That makes it easy to hire developers and find solutions to common problems.
  • React is built for modularity and code reuse through components. This allows us to create a solution once and share it across teams, allowing us to save developer time.

  • React sped up the time to implement new features, providing much better code-reuse across the team
  • React's excellent performance made it so new components ran faster in the browser
  • Since React is so popular, it's been easy to recruit new developers to the team who already have a familiarity with the library

  • We're growing our business rapidly using a platform built on React... it directly corresponds to our success or failure. So far we've seen a lot of success so I would say React (being a free product) has had very meaningful and positive impacts.

  • Since we're still in the conversion cycle, all the data is not in. But React has had a positive impact on Developer productivity and the ability to produce efficient, highly flexible UX. This in turn, enhances our customer experience, which is generally the most important component of our ROI.
  • Conversion has been difficult since it requires a change of mindset. Most developers have adapted quite well, but the process has been lengthy, and 2 years in, we are still not fully converted. This essentially is a temporary negative impact on ROI.

  • Well tested smaller components means faster iterations with improved code quality
  • Because of open source support, React often has components pre-built in open source projects. This allows for faster development process because you don't have to start from scratch to build a Select Component on your UI, you could simply use one of the pre-existing libraries.
  • Wide popularity => cheap maintaince => longer life span for the project.
