I primarily work as a Backend Developer, but I touch some UI every now and then.
Getting a react project set up is really hard, I totally agree with the article here. However, from there on out in most parts it's relatively easy because react itself is very lean and lightweight. If anything, I find myself struggling with getting CSS selectors right, or with awkward inconsistencies in the DOM API (things like: do you use the value attribute or the inner HTML to display text in a textarea?). React itself causes troubles very rarely.

Oh yeah, definitely. I'm still a beginner, so there's still a lot to learn about the lifecyle methods.
