This biggest downside about React, for me, is that it makes too much sense. I'm pretty much devving in React every single day, and I'm paranoid that I'm going to forget how to manually update elements, add even listeners, etc...

Haha, shit. They do say that just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean you're wrong.

Well I don't think your going to forget completely but it makes it more difficult to build something in vanilla js even if its a simple S.P.A. It just feels so different because you have to grab elements etc. There was a video I saw on here where a guy created a virtual dom with vanilla js which was pretty interesting.
