Wow the comments in here are awful. How about some constructive discussions folks? If you're not impressed by React or don't think it's useful, what, if anything, can we say or show you to convince you otherwise? I'm assuming that's what you're here - for knowledge - otherwise, why are you here? I'm glad there have been no major announcements. This isn't an Apple keynote. We should want our tools to be predictable, stable, and paid attention to. Introducing more React stuff would be cool, don't get me wrong. But some of us are actually trying to build products and having stability and feature depth is more important than throwing React at another problem. The React team is fairly small and so they should stick to solving specific problems. There's still lots to be done in React Native. Looking forward to seeing what the second half of the day brings. A lot of this stuff isn't particularly new to me but that's ok too. It's good to see they're still doing talks which introduce new users.

The comments are pretty bad both ways, i.e. this whole thread is shameful: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11152864 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11152864 There's little constructive purpose for these bad faith remarks in threads like that in general (I've probably been guilty of some in the past myself). No need to slam one thing to raise up another - let tools stand on their own merit, and criticize based on that alone. FWIW, I'm pretty heavily involved in the Angular community, and I respect what Facebook has done in creating & fostering React - I keep an eye on it because I love just about all things frontend on the web, even if I don't use React much (although I might use React Native for an app for a community I am a part of).

  I don't think anybody ends up looking cool -- more like an idiot. So it's mostly "to vent my frustration for other aspects of my life in needless negativity and aggression in an unrelated topic".
