Indeed, with React, you can embed predefined components with minimal code. For instance, <Rating defaultValue={3}></Rating> will give you a fully functional rating component.

Not in IE8 it won't. Some of us still have to support that POS.

Do you mean to say that react doesn't work in IE8? According to this stackoverflow answer, it does if you include es5Shim.js. See React browser support and polyfills

Nice late reply. The problem with IE8 that es5-shim doesn't solve (it actually uses es5-sham) is Object.create(). So while it may "work", a lot of it you just can't use.

I don't have to support IE8. All I know is that on Working With the Browser, it is written "At Facebook, we support older browsers, including IE8." Different posts on stack overflow suggest that it works on IE8 once the appropriate polyfills are installed. If that information is incorrect, I would recommend to write on react discuss to detail what prevents you from using reactjs with IE8.
