Did you read the article or just the word "React"? They're incrementally migrating, not fully rewriting the application.

- pjmlp 10y agoYes I did, and did not saw the business case (monetary) in the decision.
- ng12 10y agoWell the article is primarily about the technical implementation, not the business rationale. But they still mention the main reasons: engineer productivity, community support, and performance gains. All of those translate to money. As someone who used to work on large Backbone apps I agree that it's a huge drain on developer productivity -- hard to add features, hard to test, lack of standards, etc. Not to mention the recruiting problem: I would never accept a job offer to work on a Backbone app again.
