Most new developers I encounter have learned React at university, and a lot of
external developers have a lot more experience with modern technologies than
Koha developers, so I don't think that we need to worry about that too much. 

I've had co-workers refuse to work on Koha, because it's an intimidating mess
of old Perl CGI code. Even if a developer were unfamiliar with the Javascript
framework we use, it would probably be faster for them to learn it than for
them to learn Koha's Perl code.

My hope would also be that we would create re-usable components, so that there
wouldn't be much work to do for adding a new DB table and its associated CRUD
interface.
