I learned React before all these unnecessary addons and it was still borderline terrible. JSX and its school of thought is a horrible, horrible mistake and having to learn to use slightly-different names for everything (className vs class, etc) was infuriating. Still, everything one needed for an SPA was there. With thoughtful design one didn't need any of those addons. Then, suddenly, Flux comes out and it seems like a few months later the whole scene says React+Flux is the only way to go. (I personally found Flux confusing as fuck, but I didn't give it more than 15 minutes) It amuses me to see some of these JavaScript proponents get so cocky over something that only lasts a couple of months.
