Depending on your use case React (or any framework) can be overkill. I've been developing software for over 25 years and it took me some time to wrap my head around React. I developed mainly using OOP languages such as C#. React favors composition over inheritance and this was very frustrating at first. Keep at it. Eventually you'll get that "ah ha" moment and things will start falling into place.

Thanks Ryan, then I'm not the only one struggling with React. Good to know. For me it is a real shock coming from 20 years of backend SQL development onto the frontend scene.
