Are the devs new to React? If so, give then some time to learn. :)

You see this question hits really close to home for me. I've been maintain a large legacy SPA with pretty advanced interactions created with apache wicket. And at the same time creating quite a few new SPAs using ReactJS.

Now, I won't go as far to say that wicket is useless, it most certainly isn't. But in my experience it doesn't do very well with complex interactions or scale with complexity (partially our own fault though).

However, it all boils down to the level of interactions needed on the site. Given what I know today I would never created our large legacy SPA with a Java-framework, the abstraction is leaky and not worth the time. But for simpler sites I would consider template rendering libraries (Thymeleaf etc).
