> Just simple go, html, css, and a bit of javascript when it's needed for a form

I mean if your tools are that simple, this is a no-brainer. The problem is when you have to scale up. Internal tools can get complicated because their user base is often highly specialized technical users. Managing reusable components, behavior, and state of a complex application is when you need something like React.




Scale isn’t the problem, the product need for instant (client-side) reactivity is.


Instant? Most React sites I’ve visited feel anything but instant.


It's necessary but not sufficient


I think the commenter is referring to the scale of functionality. Perhaps a better term would be scope.


Right, but (eg) ERP tools have heaps of scope and very little need for client side reactivity.
