This is super cool. I've tried a few times to build a tiling window manager in Javascript, once with Backbone, and once as an extension to Gnome Shell (yuck!) back in the days of yore. Seems like React is the right fit for this sort of component -- I could use this component in either my web apps or my Gnome Shell tinkerings...
I like that there's first-class support for mouse resizing and moving splits; I like my keyboard-driven AwesomeWM as much as the next nerd, but I frequently wish that Linux tiling WMs had better mouse support. Split resizing is also live and fluid, something that few other pane-splitting web components get right.
