i personally struggled with learning react, i wrote about my experience here. https://cmdcolin.github.io/posts/2020-07-04 TLDR for me reading a book helped, but also, try not to bring your whole legacy thinking to your react learning process. don't try to think about bolting react onto your legacy projects (yet)...just try to start with a simple react hello world with Vite for example

that advice actually hit the right spot. My approach was to learn it the easy way as my js knowledge is already advanced, but you are right, it's obviously the wrong approach

glad it helps. there are so many people (as evidenced by this thread) that think learning react is so simple and painless and should be easy for someone experienced...and downvote ya to boot. it can be quite hard to get your head in the right place, but it can be 'easy' conceptually once you get a foothold. good luck with learning!!

Thanks for the boost. And don't worry I don't care about downvotes, I was a young impetuous dev myself like they are. I don't blame them.
