I stopped using it a while ago (2-3 years). I had central state management, and a few other bells and whistles.
I was the "go to" guy for when React didn't want to do something.
Most of my wrestling came in the form of:
- recycling html-elements
- "tweening" state. a friggin nightmare to have inbetween states
- performant animation stuff
- stateless node-to-node communication for stuff that would have not fit well in state
- keyboard navigation (think game ui)
Ugh. The more I learned about how it actually works, the more I came to hate it. And it kills me to see so many people who love it... like I'm an alien amongst the people (developers) who I once felt understood me.
