I'm not actually a developer myself.. You'll have to clue me in on what that file does. Why is it bad?
There are many ways to host a website. The most simple ways involve running a program that just serves HTML data. If you want to do any server-side processing (like user sessions for example or accepting user input to make a post) you need to use a server-side language.
There are many different server-side languages. In my experience the most used and most criticized is PHP which can be added to most web hosting programs and is supported by almost every web hosting provider. Because it is so frequently used PHP would be a decent choice due to the abundance of developers which are familiar with it
Another fantastic way to host web sites is nodejs which is simple, effective and reliable however not many web hosting companies support it so you would have to host the page from your own servers.
I have almost never heard of anyone using react at all and would have to learn it from the ground up, I took a look at the documentation and it seemed a little counter intuitive to. In its defense though it is coded in a language almost all developers are familiar with so you would just have to learn how to interface with react itself.
TL;DR React is not commonly used so there are not as many devs who know it. There are also better solutions that could have been used. It is too late to change the entire system though so I'll just keep walking
Steemit.com is written using React.
