That's true. React itself is also clean and simple... but things tend to be more complicated in React, the ecosystem when you go to the SPA direction.

I sorta hate that React is so simple and the ecosystem is such a clusterf*ck.

I wish they came out with a storage/persistence system as simple conceptually as the renderer.

Maybe that's a lot to ask for though.

React by itself gives me blue balls.

I have a theory that every project eventually approaches a level of complexity reflecting the level at which a moderately intelligent person can't understand it any more. I think of it as a "complexity budget". So if you start with something simple (say, React) then people will just invent more layers of complexity around it to solve whatever the next layer of problems is (Redux, Webpack, etc). And they won't stop until the complexity budget is all used up.

There is one, and its called MobX: https://mobx.js.org/getting-started.html
