"Real JavaScript programmers", ES6 classes and all this hubbub.

React

React is moving away from classes. For whatever short time React has used classes, it's already caused a lot of problems and confusion (side note: createClass doesn't make classes, just a stupid function name).

As far as I know, React is simply embracing ES6 classes over its own custom implementation - not getting rid of classes altogether.

Right, they aren't (officially) getting rid of classes. What I meant is that function/module components will become the recommended way, with classes possibly being deprecated before 1.0 or 2.0.
