Most React devs either colocate styles with their JSX with CSS-in-JS or skip CSS entirely with Tailwind class soup in their JSX. I must be one of the few that use CSS Modules instead (so CSS is in a separate file from JSX)
as someone who only writes frontend now and then, I agree, and I don't know how react devs find anything in their projects with the horizontal organization. I work regularly on a small one like that and it's already a pain every time I have to backtrack where this component I'm looking at is defined.
I have the same strong feeling about how most distros and OSes have Projects/ Documents/ Videos/ Images/ etc in the home directory: this lazy "organization" is totally useless. The first thing I do on a fresh image is to get rid of these directories.
They're all grouped by what they are instead of what project / domain they belong to, so finding anything is very inconvenient. My file explorer can help grouping files by type automatically, but it won't know what is their intent.
