Are you making an argument against react or an argument against writing react in a pure functional style? Because unless I'm very much mistaken: ComponentWillUnmount Props Props state for the first few complaints. React is just the view layer, arguing against react because "you need a framework" is like arguing that no one should write their own applications without a framework. It is a separate discussion than what to use for the view rendering.
