In France we have a Craiglist-like website. They recently moved to ReactJS : https://www.leboncoin.fr/
The website features didn't changed in between. It's basically a pagination + a search based on radius (so DB related) + name (so DB related) + categories (so DB related).
The complete website could be build in pure HTML + CSS and a bit of JS + Ajax to refresh parts of it.
But no, it's build with ReactJS, and it takes seconds to search a simple item on it.
To compare, just try the same search on the Dutch equivalent, MarktPlaats, https://www.marktplaats.nl/. The experience is way snappier, way lighter, the features are the same, and it's just HTML + CSS + a bit of JS.
We made a mistake with React/Vue/Angular. And we should really go back and stop using those frameworks.

I think you are cherry picking.
There are plenty of examples in the modern web of terrible React/etc implementations but that doesn't mean the approach in itself is bad.
Please name some.
Some good React alternatives?
I’ve been plying around with lit-element lately and am finding it a much simpler experience overall. Likely a lot faster as well https://youtu.be/uCHZJy2n8Qs
It's also possible to use htm with Preact for developing without a bundler if your target users support ES6.
