If you want the React semantic without the size, you can just use something like https://github.com/developit/preact (which is like 3kb once deployed).

You also don't need JSX if you don't want to. Using React without JSX and just aliasing the dom functions ends up looking almost the same.

The reason behind React and Flux is because of pitfalls behind MVC...though the whole rational behind that is probably not fit for an hacker news reply :)
