This comparison of two-way data bindings assumes that, well, two-way data binding is the way to go. Without taking a stance on whether this is wrong or not, the usage of React here is a bit misleading. React puts emphasis on unidirectional data flow. It's a different model completely. The two-way binding _helper_ happened to be there as sugar only. In fact, here's the note on the add-on page (http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/two-way-binding-helpers.html http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/two-way-binding-helpers...): If you're new to the framework, note that `ReactLink` is not needed for most applications and should be used cautiously.
