I sorta feel the same way. I used to be excited to spin up a react project, and loved working with it daily for 8+ years. It really was wonderful. Junior devs used to be able to write clear, performant, bug free code in react without a ton of hand holding. One of its greatest testaments. Now you need to spend 20 minutes figuring out what someone is trying to accomplish with a useEffect hook with 10 dependencies and if it’s running as expected or if that dependency should be wrapped in a useCallback. :) And that’s without even getting into the deep end of server components and bifurcating your frontend into static server and client components and hydrating the dom and using next router and blah blah blah. And we are told to use a framework by a VC backed company because create react app isn’t maintained anymore? Ok. Gonna go write some erb in rails or something.

I think is because boot camps pushed out bad developers. You can write bad code in any language framework, react isn't any different. We now just have a ton of front end devs that don't understand how to write good software
