I don't even have to read the article to know this is going to get down-voted into obscurity. It's like mom always said if you don't have something nice to say about this week's popular javascript framework, don't say anything at all (or else...)

I'm sympathetic to the basic idea, but surely this is not the article you're hoping for. There's a lot of ranting, with only a couple of sentences of actually useful information, eg. situations in which React is not a good fit. He mentions Angular for "data-bound REST apps" -- why? What makes React worse than Angular in that situation? What would be the tipping point in that situation that might make him use React instead? No data provided.

Yeah not exactly a well reasoned article about the strengths and weaknesses (these really do exist) of using React or X Other Framework. I went back and actually read it.

The CEO of the Meteor Dev group gave the following presentation recently:

He indirectly touches on some of those probably 25 minutes into the talk.

When JavaScript frameworks have CEOs, you know something has gone horribly wrong.
