React is hard but not why you may think
summary
Claim: React itself is manageable but integrating many libraries is what trips people up. Demonstrates a small app that fetches 30 “worst movies” via GraphQL using plain fetch, adds client-side likes, routing and a details page, and animates the like with framer motion. State uses overmind, bootstrapped with Create React App in CodeSandbox, and React Router v6 for routes. The app works end to end; the star animation and glue code take more time than core React.
