I wonder if it's like PHP. Lots of people shit on it because they had to futz around in a garbage project written by garbage developers, fully unaware that it can be elegant in the hands of a professional team who cares about code quality.

You can apply this reasoning to any [web] technology. The reason it's so visible for react, and previously PHP, is simply popularity.
