Think of famous (in its current form) like UIKit for the web. There is a layer that is very CoreAnimation-like but there are also several common controls/widgets, with the possibility of growing into an entire ecosystem (like CocoaControls[0]). That being said, that is the state of famous today, but the long-term vision and plans are much more ambitious. At the end of the day, javascript has a single event loop, and any module/package you use that does not respect that single event loop as the commons can threaten the user experience of any app. What we're pushing for is not only a decent framework, but an entire ecosystem of libraries and tooling to make it easy to build high quality libraries that not only doesn't jeopardize the user experience, but actually makes it far easier for developers of all levels to make high quality (performance, affordances, etc) applications that delight the user.
