As someone who knows react fairly well, I'd generally say yes. Building off a component library like Material UI or Chakra I can making basic SPA's is like playing with lego. If all I need is a frontend to a service that, say, plays MIDI recordings on a raspberry pi attached to my digital piano; this is perfect. The upside is the components are so compose-able once you have them (buttons, forms etc) it's easy to build apps. Also the fundamental idea, UI as a function of state, makes the app much simpler, because invalid states are harder to reach (generally presuming typescript). The downside is it is quite large time investment to become proficient. The 'UI as a function of state' idea makes some simple things (anything with side effects) awkward, because the raw idiom doesn't allow for it. There are also rabbit holes of complexity you can easily get stuck in, like redux or integrating rxjs, because the simpler ways aren't always obvious. I feel like the function of state stuff is the tacit knowledge part that is actually most important but I'm kinda skipping it. The bit I like the most is the lego bricks. Building web apps with component libraries and not having to think at all about HTML or CSS if I lower my standards a bit.
