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.

  • React is excellent at handling dynamic updates to user interfaces. React, for instance, can effectively refresh the user interface (UI) in real-time as the user interacts with the application or as fresh data is obtained from an API.
  • Developers can simply design reusable UI components with React, which can then be combined to create complex user interfaces. As a result, development time is cut down and the codebase is simpler to manage.
  • With the help of React, developers may implement server-side rendering, which can speed up the application's loading time and make it simpler for search engines to scan and index the information.

  • it's a component based framework that uses JSX to quick rendering HTML content and is responsive to the browser.
  • it supports mobile devices also.
  • it provides flexibility to test UI and functionality on mobile devices simultaneously development cycle. basically, it generates a URL that can be used on mobile devices if you are connected to the same wifi network.
  • flexibility to create your own custom user components that can used with jsx (that allows you to code with JavaScript on your) HTML page.
  • UI looks very clean.

  • React is fantastic for building performant user interfaces. Our web app is snappy and great for our customers.
  • React has the philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well which is the view layer of the application. This makes it incredibly intuitive and flexible for developers to use.
  • React has lead the way in being able to write modular and structured code. It is a drastic improvement since the days of spaghetti jQuery code.
  • React has an unmatched community. The amount of tools and libraries available is fantastic, and there plenty of solutions available online for common problems.

  • Intuitive templating language (JSX) that provides a dynamic rendering of HTML elements, along with an easy model to tie back to JavaScript implemented in your components.
  • Component-based views that guide the developer to modular and reusable pieces to your interface.
  • Streamlined state management with immutable properties and mutable state within each component with one-day data-binding to tie them to the view

React: fast efficient generation of HTML code

  • React is designed around the notion of generated html as opposed to templated html. This provides more flexibility in building elements on a page, and allows developers to create html that is programmatically configured based on runtime considerations.
  • React uses JSX, which is HTML templating integrated into javascript code. This simplifies the generation of complex structures, especially those that vary based on runtime and interactive data.
  • React is more efficient because it generates a virtual DOM rather than directly building in in the actual DOM. By building 'offline' in this manner, the DOM generation is faster. After building, it can be installed in one operation.
  • React only builds those portions of the display that have changed, making display updates more efficient.

  • Solid backing by large organization (Facebook) thats committed to keeping the development on the project. In my mind, this is the number one priority for any library because without this: time is wasted on getting up-to speed on a library that you will never use, have a codebase with a library thats hard to maintain because few years down the lane, hiring devs to maintain an unsupported library is very difficult.
  • As with any libraries, open source community's support is critical for success of any framework because this allows for more pre-built components that could be used right out-of-box => makes Development using React a breeze.
  • React's Stateful and Stateless components make organizing your code a breeze. These components would also allow for writing clean Unit Tests on the logic.
  • React's component lifecycle. It offers a variety of lifecycle methods, that allows for handling different scenarios of loading and manipulating data in the UI.
  • I found React's documentation very well maintained with plenty of examples explaining each feature.
  • Responsiveness is a very important criteria in selecting a UI and React is very responsive. It does some neat optimizations on re-rendering using virtual DOM and would only re-render parts of the DOM that changed. These optimizations makes React Applications feel really fast.
  • React Native would allow for building applications that span across web and mobile interfaces (iOS and Android). This makes learning React even more enticing, because using a single library, you could build applications that span across Web, iOS and Android.
  • create-react-app is an effort by Facebook (creators of React) that makes getting started with React really easy. It does all the heavy lifting of configurations for you and allow you to focus on just development.
  • Small footprint, minified React + React DOM is under 150Kb, that makes loading UI's with react really fast.
  • React + Enzyme (backed by Airbnb) + Sinon + Mocha + Chai makes unit testing the UI components fun and improves the overall maintainability of the project.

  • React makes managing state both easy and hard (depending on the context of the situation). So I am using it as both a pro and a con.
  • React makes organizing your code quite easy.
  • React is fast.
  • It can be used on the front end and also rendered server-side.
  • The Ecosystem is enormous for being so young. Wide-spread adoption has helped this and gives you plenty of areas to find help.
  • React Native is an amazing tool that gets you into Mobile Development using the skills you learn in React Web development
