ReactJS is a tax Facebook levies on startup web development
I&#x27;ve been using React for just about everything front-end wise for the past year. I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s particularly hindered me, really. Sure, it was a learning curve, as was Redux, but now I understand those concepts better, my process is, I clone a &#x27;react starter pack&#x27; from git, which has all of the build set-up I need, webpack, sass, ES6 etc, etc. And that&#x27;s really it, I find it quicker to develop in React and Redux because the component approach, along with the immutability of Redux, allows me to overcome bugs pretty quickly. I find I run into less bugs, too, due to the predictability of doing everything the &#x27;react&#x2F;redux&#x27; way. I also find writing unit tests so easy in React, using &#x27;dumb&#x27; components. So the result is, I&#x27;ve got some of the most bug-free, well tested front-end codebases I&#x27;ve ever worked on.<p>I guess everyone&#x27;s experiences are different, and I understand that it&#x27;s a difficult series of libraries to learn and understand fully, and that can be time consuming. But long-term I think it&#x27;s a time saver.
