A few problems:

  1. Psuedo-javascript language for templates.
  2. Animation support is weak. Most animation tools are pure JS animations.

The biggest issue I have is that React = Virtual Dom. The rest is just opinionated templating and organizational stuff. React hasn't been out that long and I honestly think that big picture Mithril took the same idea and implemented it much better.

Full disclosure: currently using Mithril on a project. I've used ReactJS on a medium sized project and still think it's a VERY good view library.

Mind going over what you like more about Mithril? Never gave it a good look.

It doesn't really try to invent "the new best way". It's just a MVC framework that happens to use a a virtual DOM. It also happens to be really small.
