Yeah - I agree with the article's premise, but it's a pretty weak effort given that the author hasn't really delved into React. Having done a fair number of side by side implementations of things with React and vanilla JS / jQuery, React has always ended up more code and complexity (and an inconvenient extra build step). More shunting state up and down the call stack to conform to the functional architectural ideals, etc. It shines on certain types of problems, but seems to get shoehorned into a lot of others due to hype and groupthink.
