I love React too!
Just wanted to share some anectodal evidence about an angular app I am in the process of rewriting in react. For now, I am reimplementing the main functionality as a directive in react, keeping other angular parts. (Angular directive is there to make the transition seamless, while keeping other parts like routing etc. in angular)
Performance had become unacceptable in angular and hard to track. Mutable state with two-way bindings made it hard to reason about.
React makes state much easier to reason about. App performs noticably faster (three/four times faster), memory consumption is halved. React devtools is very helpful to inspect the virtual DOM. Integration with other libraries is very easy, it doesn't try to own your app like Angular.
Getting up to speed with react is very easy too with a small and very nice to use API. I would encourage everyone doing webapp development to check it out, at least for a demo app to get a sense of it. Go through the tutorial on the site and you'll feel comfortable within hours.
Had I mentioned that I love React?
