Coming to React, after working with OOP for UI, was pretty mind blowing for me. It is so much better than anything I was working on 5 years ago. React has dramatically improved the landscape as a whole. That said, I think React is fatally flawed in its necessity to treat state in immutable structures. I wish React could be more like an immediate mode UI library, or a “thin” rendering layer as it was originally advertised. I want to be able to structure and handle my state however I please. I think such a library is bound to come along and topple React.
