Except it's horrifically slow. It was never designed for widespread dynamic update, and to work around it we have to go to great lengths like having a virtual DOM. Combine that with the widespread incompatibility of different implementations, and I have trouble seeing it as a good UI framework at all, let alone a superior one.
