I'm excited for the day this gets merged and can drop jquery:

I'm curious, why?

The only reason my current main work project has jQuery is it uses some Bootstrap components. Everything else is React.

Why not use react-strap? It offers React reimplementations of Bootstrap components.

Reactstrap has a dependency on Bootstrap, which as GP mentioned - uses jQuery.

Actually no it only depends on the bootstrap css and does not require the bootstrap js.

But I'm not sure including react in order to get rid of jQuery is a win haha.

It's not an SPA where everything is React. Some views are React, others aren't, and the main templates still have e.g. Bootstrap dropdown navs.
