It is my impression also that react is aimed at very large sites (like Facebook), and you need to have a strong grasp of various approaches to dom management to wield React well. Though in the hands of an expert React is the sharpest DOM management tool available and its not even close.
Ractive's approach appears to be much more suitable for use cases like a journalist interested in only learning barely enough javascript to get by.

- dustingetz 13y agoyou will want to research and form your own opinion as there are very subtle nuances that have enormous consequences in maintaining large codebases, but here's a starting point: http://www.quora.com/Pete-Hunt/Posts/Facebooks-React-vs-AngularJS-A-Closer-Look http://www.quora.com/Pete-Hunt/Posts/Facebooks-React-vs-Angu... The main issue is that to do anything complicated in angular you need to start writing tricky[1] "link" functions; the React approach completely sidesteps this complexity. There are some tradeoffs you have to accept, like JSX, but they are easily worth it. [1] tricky is of course relative; angular is easier to code than something like backbone+jquery or backbone+knockout.
