I've worked around a medium-sized and storied backbone project that (for good reason) didn't have time to "get things right" and hoooooo boy can it get complex and spaghetti.[1]

Compared to my confusion making sense of that project, I simply cannot imagine getting so confused orienting in a React project, even if it were done by an inexperienced person. It seems to me that the "extra" abstractions of React compel you to use them, and so things end up in reliable, sensible places.

The entanglements the author mentions feel like part of the benefit, I guess?
