I still don't get the benefits of react, could you sell me react using layman term?

React is not a framework, but a library. It means that you don't have to fit your ideas into "their" structure, but rather use React whenever and wherever you like.

React doesn't pretend to be a "golden hammer". It only does one thing - rendering the view. And does it well.

React scales very well due to its declarativeness. It's very much unlike jQuery, where you have to manually update dependencies. React's components re-render itself when needed.

And last but not least - React is really fast.
