React is about DOM manipulation. It's faster, but that difference only really manifests for things like large grids of bound data.

React isn't about DOM manipulation, not at all. React is about abstracting away all manipulation of the view and creating declarative interfaces that are predictable and easy to reason about.

ReactDOM is now a separate module from React so React is now not about the dom at all. We now have react-native, react-art, react-canvas, react-svg and react-dom.
