> I think React has potential. It's at about the same stage of maturity that Angular was five years ago, and if it's as successful, we can expect it to enjoy five years of being the new darling in the Javascript world, until the Next Big Framework comes around. React is something which stands astride on a line that divides a framework and library. I believe, like all good libraries out there, which do one thing and one thing well, React might stay for a longer period of time. At the first look of it, it might look heavy and bloated but it professes a far simpler view of building UIs. The best part is, just like jQuery, it didn't take me more than a few hours to get comfortable with React and incorporate it into building something, something that could have taken a few weeks with other frameworks. I am not saying there won't be anything better than this but I am sure it isn't just another hyped fad.
