Perhaps a more charitable interpretation of the article is that when writing a larger application in React you'll be led from React-the-library (which is "just JavaScript") into React-the-ecosystem, which looks less like "just JavaScript" and more like the other frameworks.
You can definitely write your application in React without external dependencies, but how is a beginner expected to do that, especially with all these other popular libraries around?

- hungerstrike 8y agoI think the more salient point here is that React-the-ecosystem is just the JavaScript ecosystem. There were very few packages mentioned that are strictly only useful with React.
