What was the reason for going with React components? I thought those were for web apps with a lot of interactivity and changing states. I don't know much about React/Vue beyong the fact that they use a virtual DOM, so I'm curious.
We use React because our editor is built in React (which does have a lot of interactivity and changing states), and so, since it's a WYSIWYG editor, the user will be seeing how their site is rendered as they are editing it, so we render their site in React as well. Also, we are using this React framework, Next.JS, which have a functionality to generate static pages from our React component. At the end of the day the React does get compiled into static pages in HTML/JS/CSS. I'm not sure if this answers your question though, would be happy to answer more questions
I have stopped/started learning React several times, because I always end up preferring go back to simple HTML/CSS pages. Bootstrap Studio is something that works for me because it's has that nice split between pure WYSIWIG view and code editing view.
