Could you give a few examples of those languages and frameworks just to understand what you are comparing React to?

Here’s a decent list through time for JavaScript frameworks: http://todomvc.com/

For my own experience with things that were specifically MVC or MVVM:

In C#: Asp.net MVC, WPF (with/without Prism)

In Typescript: Knockout, Angular 2.0+ (I guess it wasn’t mvc really - I disliked it for other reasons)

React (with hooks) on the other hand is the embodiment of a pure Functional Programming UI.

I can literally write a component with a single import and a single function.

For every reason functional patterns beats OOP patterns, react beats mvc - and achieves true separation of concerns (feature aligned concerns).

Thanks, that helps.
