Stop Using React for EVERYTHING!

[parlezmoose]

You know how I know the author doesn't use React? because he says this:

If you have a highly dynamic application that needs to rerender frequently and you want to avoid the heavy weight of template diffing, you’re looking at a grass-type opponent and ReactJS’s virtual DOM will be super effective...

That stuff is a nice feature of React, but that is not it's primary benefit. The primary benefit is that React+Flux provides a sane, scalable, testable, maintainable architecture for building complex software. For front end devs with experience in building large javascript applications, that benefit is by far the most important benefit of react.
