[React] Modernize the code

[alanpoulain]

For React generator only.

Use Context API instead of Redux. Or maybe Redux Toolkit. Use React Hook Form instead of Redux Form. Upgrade React Router. Use hooks.

I propose to deprecate this generator in favor of the Next.js one instead. The only issue I see with Next is that it isn't compatible with React Native.

[alanpoulain]

Don't you think some people prefer a simple React app instead of a Next.js one?

It's harder to maintain for no real benefits IMHO. People with specific needs can create and maintain they own templates.

I'd suggest reconsidering the decision to deprecate the React generator.

In 2024, Next installations account for around 25% of total React installations. https://npmtrends.com/@vitejs/plugin-react-vs-next-vs-react

And @vite/plugin-react, for example, has 75% of Next installations.

The majority of developers still use React without Next.

As long as both are maintained, why not, but that's not the case at present, and no one has volunteered to maintain the non-Next variant.
