I'm not a GIMP official, so my opinion is not autoritative. In my opinion,
https://www.gimp.org/ looks and functions well, despite being somewhat
reminiscent of https://everybootstrap.site/ and while having some minor
validation errors (see
https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gimp.org%2F ). I also think
it is a mostly static site, which can be an advantage (see
https://github.com/shlomif/shlomif-tech-diary/blob/master/static-site-generators--despair.md
).

Why should we consider converting the site to React.js? Which advantages will
this transition give us? Will it still be usable with JavaScript
blocking/blacklisting such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoScript 's?

For the record you can find the website's sources here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/gimp-web/

Please reply to all.
