React for me has several large advantages (no specific order): 1. declarative dom updates is way easier than imperative 2. frontend components Additionally typescript needs a compile step anyways so it's not super complicated to just add react to it. I think many people bounced off React 5 years ago when in 2025 React apps are easy to get started with (basically no config), have negligible hot reload + build times, and largely have become a joy to use.
