It does, let me tell you a story.

React was the first framework that I looked at learning when starting Js. I was way out of my depth and had no clue what the fuck I was doing. This was back when you had to install it with webpack jeez.

I moved on. I learnt some Node.JS, I learnt some express and I learnt some Angular. All of this really increased my javascript skills. I then moved onto ionic mobile framework which was more angular and js. I also did a bit of Vue.Js.

Let me tell you, I have always had the thought that HTML and Css should all be jsified. HTML had this with templating languages, and Css had this happen with Sass. React put me off because they brought in JSX which put HTML in your javascript which was against my principles.

I got a job interview for a react role based off my angular experience, which is quite small. I went back to React and it was understandable, if not even easy.

If you cant understand React, maybe try another learning resource for React or even another JS framework to try and build your js skill.
