I think my favourite fact(oid) to point out here would be that the React model is essentially the same thing as the good ol' Windows GUI model. The good ol' 1980s Windows, though perhaps slightly more convenient for developers. See [0].

I think it's good to keep that in mind as a reference point.

if webdev is going to go through all the iterations of GUI development ... oh boy , there are decades of frameworks ahead

It's just the underlying model that is similar, but React is pretty good at abstracting all that (unlike Win32).

When it comes to developer experience I'd say that React and company are ahead of most desktop UI technologies, and has inspired others (Flutter, SwiftUI).

So where's the RAD React tooling? Is that a thing yet?

Apparently there's React Studio, BuilderX and tools like Sketch2React and Figma to React. Ionic Studio will probably support React in a close future (maybe it already supports).
