Thought I'd post this as a skim reveals no one has discussed testing. While I am sure it is very possible to achieve this in other ways, the React-Redux structure (dumb components handling presentation and redux handling state) enforces a discipline that makes testing your client-side app far easier than other solutions I've seen where logic and presentation are far too often coupled. Recall that true vanilla ES5 does not even have modules. There is certainly a lot of cargo-cultism surrounding React, but I'll be always be grateful for it making the vdom and functional style of coding more mainstream.
