Most web apps are a combination of static pages, simple forms and highly interactive content though. That's what makes the choice so hard.

That’s why I use React, though. It’s much nicer (as a developer— not necessarily UX) to have a single paradigm and approach to building your app vs using one approach for the simple pages and a different approach for the handful of highly interactive pages. Inevitably, your simple pages get complex interactive edge cases and you wish you’d written those in React from the start, etc.

I know many will disagree with me and will point to livewire, etc as alternative approaches, and that’s valid. I’ve simply settled on React because it fits my mental model, I like functional programming, and I dislike that bifurcation problem.
