While it is possible to avoid using frameworks, it is not practical to avoid using powerful and expressive patterns. React is implementing several patterns. At least 2 of them are: 1) unidirectional flow of state management 2) server/client side isomorphism (meaning that a server side solution can render out a good number of client-side views) There are other libraries (not frameworks) that more and more do similar things. And some of them actually offer 'api' and/or source-code level compatibility amongst themselves. Further indicating that these libraries are offering patterns. For example Inferno JS with inferno-component https://github.com/trueadm/inferno https://github.com/trueadm/inferno
