I've recently been experimenting with how best to leverage the wealth of knowledge which has gone into d3 within the context of React, where the conventional selection-driven APIs become a hinderance rather than a help. Around that tim

People usually compare the 'size over the wire', eg. gzipped size. In these terms: - React 0.14 is 55kb - jQuery 1.11 is 38kb - Backbone + Underscore (dependency) are 15kb

I think CSS Modules[1] (mentioned toward the end of the article) provides a starting point to finding a good compromise. It deals with the scoping issues, as well as interoperability between Javascript modules and the defined style classes.

If there is a particular case which you think should work but doesn't, please file an issue on the coffee-react-transform repo and I'll look into it.

It's not hard to be faster than React, React's performance benefit comes from the fact it makes performance easy to understand and optimise rather than just being magically (but opaquely) fast. However, the real reason React is a

Flexbox can be a bit low level, but with it you can build abstractions (eg. classes or preprocessor mixins) for common use cases, which I think is preferable to having only a high-level tool which can't cover all use cases.

This should also have an option for 'what browsers do you need to support' and just provide flexbox output instead if you don't need to support legacy IE.

The combination of React with a data/state management pattern such as Flux ( https://facebook.github.io/flux/ ) is fairly analogous. You can also just use something like Backbone models (for example) with React if y

I would argue that React set them on the path to doing DOM manipulation right. After all, when they started using React as a replacement for (less optimal) manual DOM manipulation, it brought performance improvements, and when they replaced
