Why don't react use semver?

    Kinda. The semantics of 0.x versions pretty much boil down to "shift everything one to the left", i.e. 0.14 is a breaking change from 0.13, 0.13.1 may introduce non-breaking changes (other than bugfixes) from 0.13.0. Considering both Facebook and Instagram (as well as a ton of other companies like Netflix) already use it in production for flagship projects, it really should be beyond 0.x land at this point (same argument that applied to node.js, basically). I guess they just don't want to appear more unstable than AngularJS (which doesn't use semver semantics and thus introduces breaking changes in "minor" releases and thus can get away with calling the upcoming rewrite "2.0").
