If needing more libs for projects is your issue with React you should try Mithril. Routing is included. There's nothing really magical about state management; plain old JS objects work for 90% of state management, and Mithril streams fill in the rest. Re. animations, etc., those aren't too hard with lifecycle methods, which, if I understand correctly, Mithril copied from React.
