One interesting thing about React is how some big names (Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Yahoo) rallied to React instead of creating their own libraries, whereas they all had their own-cooked libraries before. Also, which is more of a personal opinion, but I've tried a lot of frameworks/libraries and React is the first one that really "clicked" with the way I work and design. I don't think it will "replace jQuery", but for modern single web application, I think React is the way to go. Or said differently, "Nobody will get fired for choosing React" ;)

I have read blog posts by Yahoo and Netflix. While I believe you, I'm just curious how they are being used by Amazon or Apple. Do you have references about this?

  Apple held a ReactJS meetup on December and they showed off a declarative graphing library for React that they'll probably open source some day.

> some big names (Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Yahoo) rallied to React That's a bit of an overstatement. At least three of those four are also shipping major Ember apps and investing heavily in that ecosystem. (The only one I don't know for sure is Amazon.)

  And at least 3 also ship apps with Angular as well, and I know Netflix has some eyes on Angular 2 as well with several key figures from Netflix having helped shape some of Angular 2's direction (at least through the push for observables). This war talk is silly, and sort of akin to fanboyism that is often seen in stuff like video game consoles - lot of preaching & rhetoric, short on hard numbers and other meaningful metrics/facts.

  Random data point: last time I checked, the AWS management console web interface was built in Angular.

  Sorry, I didn't mean to attack other frameworks. I was referencing stuff like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNC0mRYGWgc&t=8m18s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNC0mRYGWgc&t=8m18s
