Some of the criticisms the author points out still hold. For example, criticism that React doesn't give a place to plug in to do post-processing on nodes is valid, and is even a point that David Nolen makes in the video you linked to.
The author is probably wrong to dismiss React because of all the other benefits, and the community/platform aspects you brought up, but him complaining about these issues (the subset of his issues that are valid, that is) still provides a lot of value to the community.
- jlongster 12y agoThat's definitely true, it's great to see parts where React doesn't allow people to play with something. It would be a lot more constructive though to build on top of React so we could more easily see the point. Additionally a lot of these problems are well known so before building your own framework, it's worth engaging the React community to see what we are thinking about them.
