For me, using React makes it possible to write UI code like I am writing UI code for the desktop (e.g. .NET). When I first saw it my reaction was "Finally! I can stop pulling my hair out!". And the more I use it, the more I like it. I am working on a highly dynamic UI right now that I started building with Knockout, got pissed off, tried React, and haven't looked back.

React really is different than everything else that has come before. I don't know if React will be the final, new framework most developers use. But whatever is the final framework will almost certainly borrow many of React's ideas.
