I recently converted an entire React / TypeScript frontend to LiveView (will open-source the project soon). I've gone much faster with LiveView. Something which use to take me 4-5 weeks to build with React / TypeScript now takes 4-5 days.
The main reason for that is, the LiveView test framework is super simple to work with. I didn't write any tests when I was doing React / TypeScript just because it seemed so cumbersome to setup. Having a test suite that works out of the box made me write more tests for my front-end.
Not having to build API endpoints for my react components is also a huge accelerator in productivity.
In the end I ended up writing less code, with more polished / well tested front-end.
