I'm looking to build an interactive app and I discovered that Maplibre is essentially an open-source alternative to Mapbox. I'm wondering if it's feasible to use Maplibre directly in a React application instead of using the React-specific wrapper, react-maplibre. My main motivation for choosing Maplibre is that it seems to have more resources and examples available online. Is this a common practice?

Absolutely! You can use maplibre-gl directly in your React app without any problems. Doing it this way actually offers you more control over your map, fewer layers of abstraction (which is great for debugging), and it keeps you closely aligned with the official MapLibre GL JS API. It's worth considering if you want to dive deeper into customization!
Yes, you can definitely use Maplibre with React! Just keep in mind that you'll need to handle the component lifecycle on your own, which could add some complexity. The good news is that the examples you find for Maplibre should work smoothly with react-maplibre too. That's what I did in my own project, and it was super easy to implement with those examples!
