It's not "only" a church. It's much more especially for the people in Paris, in France - a national symbol, a treasure etc. This fire is a big tragedy.
I visited this incredible church in 2017 the day after the last Stones show. Remember one of the unofficial graphics: It shows a view from Notre Dame...
Here it is:

There was some guy on TV this morning and he explained he made all sorts of measurings with laser devices of the whole cathedral years ago.
So there is the technical possibility to rebuild what was destroyed with a minute level of exactitude.
I hope this man's pov will prevail because for the moment "some" push for a quick "modern" (read : butt-ugly) reconstruction.

Yesterday a German TV channel reported about a computer game that plays inside, outside, on top of the roofs a.s.o. of the cathedral. They said that to develop this game exact an scanning of the whole place was done, and that these data maybe useful now in the reconstruction.

This really is a disaster, but I am glad people here at IORR share my sentiments about the horrible loss of an significiant icon of our cultural history. Of course, the loss could have been even more fatal, but gladly the worst didn't come true.
A minor, not so important point: I haven't visited 'Our Lady' since my inter-rail days in 1987, but I had a plan to do that in next June when I will visit Paris. Sadly, no possible any longer.

Macaroni says it will be rebuilt in 5 years.
Yeah right on time for the 2024 Paris Olympics... Sure thing, Mac!
15 to 20 years is more likely.
Well, now there is real cash donors plus it is valuable tourist center

there will be a new roof on the church tout de suite
