Exactly which part of that thread leads you to believe that "React plays just fine with Web Components". I suggest you watch ▶ this video which gives a very clear picture of the current state of React/Web Component interaction, including the challenges associated with it. edit: another good read if you're interested: [link]

You could just use Web Components within your React views; 'React.js Conf 2015 - The complementarity of React and Web Components' - ▶ this video

Good clickbait, but almost nonsensical article. The idea of supporting web components is great, but it's also a standards process in committee. React and Web Components can play together ( ▶ this video ), so why draw some sort of false dichotomy between the technologies. The thought that went into the virtual dom diffing strategy is an algorithmic nicety that software in general can and has already benefitted from. React itself is an implementation of that which provides real workflow improvements for web and now native platforms. That's pretty awesome and usable right now. I don't see this as a zero sum game, or as an all in investment strategy unless you are going into some arcane questions of licensing, the code and the ideas are out in the open. Ember, mythril, Om have all taken the ideas into new regions. Even look at the atom editor, they switched to react for their editor component, then realized the general purpose dom diffing strategy which is very fast could still be optimized for their edit window. That's awesome. That idea is decoupled from react. Learning to read react code takes about 1 day to 1 week. It's pretty awesome. Also, the canard about reactive programming... uhh... I just don't get what you're advertising here? That you're willing to use products like docker and node.js as advertised on your front page, but not react.js because... it's "bad"? Why so inflexible, why not try all the things and use what works as time permits?
