React is so weird because like there's a lot of things it makes easy to do but wrapping your head around the change in convention from how you'd traditionally do it to how you'd do it in React is often more complicated than it would be to just do it traditionally. And when you're stuck using React because you have to for the framework, that's a pain.

Case in point: I'm very used to dynamic info field sets to send to PHP or Python for processing, and adding new fields. But in React, you can't really do that in the same way? So instead you have to alter an object that represents your current field structure and render based on that. Which is weird. Declarative shit is confusing me.
