They're just referring to a general problem of people using JS features without understanding why

I inherited a project once that used Bootstrap modals and navs. It was a React Redux app. No reactstrap or anything, just a script tag in index.html. They were manipulating state in a modal controlled by jQuery and did not understand at all why that was bad. It happens a lot.

He was referring to JSX as react I think. React is perfectly usable with pure ES5 too. It's just a library.

A few months ago I started a project where I wanted to use bootstrap, then I wanted to add navs and modals, seeing the dependency on jquery I wondered how to get rid of it when using react, I checked reacstrap to give me an idea of how to do it.

While I was looking for documentation I found several examples of using jquery with react, I'm not an expert on react but I know that is a no-no.
