I really appreciate that Facebook resisted the urge to build the Ultimate Framework, with one thousand bells and whistles. Instead they kept things simple and low level, to the point that writing vanilla React and Flux is kind of verbose. However, I much prefer this approach to some of the other frameworks that try to do everything for me, but which mostly just end up confusing me with too many abstractions.
