I can't see React going away soon. It really does work well, and a lot of the author's problems aren't not unsolvable problems. Some are so easy to solve that many people probably never thought of them as problems (Micro components and forms have never been an issue for me.) The only real issue that I agree about is the excessive typing, but that seems like an adequate trade-off. His complaints about pure functions and immutability seem strange to me, because these aren't abstract concepts that neckbeards like in order to appear smart, they actually make programming easier. My team (about 15 front end devs) built an extremely large, complex app in a relatively short amount of time with React, and it's scaled surprisingly well. At scale, it's not easy, but that's because any huge app is going to be difficult to build.
