It feels so complicated. Every one of these "React architectures" does. And it doesn't even include any networking. Compare all that to Meteor.

  Networking is a nearly trivial layer on top of the Flux pattern. I've found this especially true with Redux with the ability to easily wait on promises to mute state. Meteor has its own problems too. The nice thing about Flux architecture is that you're not married to the network. Take my comparison with a grain of salt because I haven't given Meteor a try.

    Slightly off topic, but what library do you use for networking with React? Almost every code sample or tutorial uses jQuery's AJAX methods. Bundling jQuery seems excessive when just using those methods, but is there not a reliable alternative?

      There's tons, but the common one is fetch: https://github.com/matthew-andrews/isomorphic-fetch https://github.com/matthew-andrews/isomorphic-fetch

        Yeah I use fetch and a Redux React promise middleware module.
