Honestly, I don't think Kent's teaching style really works for me. There isn't a whole lot of background information explaining things in depth. Or at least it doesn't start that way. I think Brian Holt's Intro to React and Intermediate React courses with Frontend Masters and Josh Comeau's Joy of React together would probably be the best React lectures. You can probably throw in Mosh Hamedani and Tyler McGinnis over Kent as well to learn React before jumping into Joy of React. But, do not start Joy of React without some basic JS and React, Joy of React has a teaching style where he urges you to try to figure things out before he shows you. Also, there are many sections that are text based, which if that's not your learning style, may not work for you. Joy of React is fine till you get past all the easy stuff, then it does get a little frustrating with the do first, learn later style of teaching. It's ironic he named it Joy of React. LOL. But, I think it's probably more approachable when you have a basic understanding of JS/React. I especially like how designer-friendly Josh's React components look at the end. I like how often Frontend Masters update their courses to accomodate the latest tech. And Brian will show you how things are done without dev tools and without JSX to make you realize the beauty of JSX. But, he quickly moves past that so you don't get bogged down on the old way of doing things. Then he quickly gets you started with setting up your React dev tools in a modern way. Yes, some of his choices are opinionated, but I like seeing the choices a professioanl uses in the real world (example: his ESLint config setup). You really have to find your own combination of learning materials because there will be some gaps that others cover.
TLDR:
Kent - rushed, lacks depth
Brian - lengthy, thorough, opinionated, modern tech
Josh - advanced, aesthetic, unique components, reinforced learning
Tyler and Mosh - beginner friendly, well explained
Max (Udemy) - beginner friendly, his older version wasn't as fluid between videos but I believe it's updated
