Is it good to use CI 3.x for new eComm development

Hi All,

Am gonna develop a e Comm website , and i have chosen CI as my choice. It has been couple of years i have done development in CI. I am seeing 2 versions of CI in download option. 2.x and 3.x. I saw 3.x is still in development. my question here is, Can i download CI 3.x and start my development? Is it safe to start my development using this or should i go with older version?

Also i will CI support react components ? anyone tried experimenting this? 


Please share your thoughts.

Thanks in advance

Thanks,
