This article, and all the ones like it, remind me of Worse is Better. Specifically, the key point from that essay is: "The lesson to be learned from this is that it is often undesirable to go for the right thing first. It is better to get half of the right thing available so that it spreads like a virus. Once people are hooked on it, take the time to improve it to 90% of the right thing." This post concedes that point in the first couple of paragraphs. Much like C and Unix-like systems, this is why React isn't going anywhere. Indeed not based on the competition it has now. The best its competitors can do is convince React to steal their ideas and keep pushing toward doing 90% of the right thing.
