Interesting. I'm a fan of reactive programming and I've built projects using react+bacon.js and found that they worked well together. I'll have to give cycle a try on a hobby project sometime.

Unfortunately I'm shoe horned into react for my client work. The majority of my projects are handed off to the client to maintain and React is sort of a selling point (because.. you know facebook uses it and all). I'm afraid I can't realistically sell Cycle.js at this point.

Yeah, I definitely understand the salesmanship "follow the other lemmings" aspect of things. If it helps, I've found that I can sell "This project should use RX for all of these good reasons and its a growing industry standard supported by companies like Microsoft and Netflix..." and if I need to mention Cycle at all directly, pointing out Cycle is just the handy "glue" to bind RxJS to a Virtual DOM similar to Facebook's React...
