Outside of Reagent for clojurescript, I'm not that interested in using React. It does seem like a step back in readability and 9 times out of 10 you don't need to use virtual dom because you know exactly what is changing and where. With clojurescript it was a no brainer since the effort to make it reactive was functionally 0 compared to default hiccup data structures.
