It's a mixed bag of marketing, hiring pool, late mover, and cult problems. The latest one doesn't contribute much but to deaccelerate. The critical point of adoption is libraries, there must be variety of them to serve broad kind of application. That's "late mover" problem, people are tired of re-implementing stuff again. I wish popular frameworks would pass down some funding to vanilla js libs individuals. Marketing, it's about image of "facebook's engineering team" vs "these individuals guys". (often time, big corp's team is not that smart, really) Hiring pool. Small companies couldn't afford shinny things (risks management), so the larger pools of dev, the less risk. Cult, ahaa.. It seems to LOTs of devs agree that Re*ct sucks. Leaving a cult is not easy, it's leaving community. Most people don't want to leave at all, and in a sense they hate that people are leaving too! They become angry and defensive. So we don't make progress more quickly here.
