I agree with this point.
I do think it's important to consider, however, that — contrary to the belief that React.js is a cesspool of anti-patterns — that we're actually watching creative destruction at it's best.
Yes, libraries are moving fast and breaking things. Yes, competitive solutions are releasing at breakneck speeds. But that's more or less what happens when you reinvent the way people build things, as happened with the virtual dom.
And while we're paying for it in up-front build setup, we're vastly making up for it where it counts: JS applications that can grow big (at least I am).
