To paraphrase:

React is a solid framework, meshes well with the latest ES6 features, promotes good modularity, and all the smartest devs are raving about it, but I'm tired of hearing about it, because JSX something something and I'm more used to using these other tools.

I agree react can be overkill for simpler websites, though. That would be one valid takeaway from this article.

If you expand "everything" beyond websites, hell yes use React for it. I love that people are porting it everywhere.
