This seems to take the declarative nature of SVG and make it more imperative, like HTML5 Canvas, even though it ironically uses a virtual DOM implementation under the hood. For my React projects I chose SVG over canvas because I could write my layout declaratively, and avoided imperative manipulation libraries. How do you modify existing SVG shapes with this library?

It's a shame React Art isn't mentioned more (https://github.com/reactjs/react-art). I'm pretty happy with the results from it, and it's a bonus that it works on iOS as well as drawing to Canvas, SVG, or VML on the web.

It doesn't support some of the more advanced features of SVG, but that's the trade-off for wider support.
