neat insight! A friend of mine convinced me to try React, though I can't say that I'm sticking with it. Besides the mix syntax, my take was it's just another way of building the UI.

My breaking point was when it breaks all my jshint and jscs grunt tasks :) So now I'm migrating to use RactiveJS instead (same virtual DOM diff) with the addition of Mustache as a full template engine, which is what we actually need :)

The fixed header and footer on this page makes this very hard to read. They take up like 20% of the vertical screenspace on my 13" MBP.

Good read, thanks for putting this together. Going to run through this tutorial this weekend.

If you're interested in a React tutorial there is also the first chapter of this book I am writing www.reactbook.org/book (very rough draft)

Read this as Joseph Gordon-Levitt and got way too excited.
