Sure, but tell me what isn't feasible? Ok, I'm not creating photoshop in a browser, but there have been some non-trivial highly interactive apps I've built and they are still modular and serve their purpose well.

I'm not saying we shouldn't get on react - I'm sure in the end it will serve myself and others well, but it's a bit of a headf*ck trying to figure out the whole ecosystem, and how to write a good solid app in it. For anyone that tries to say "but it's only react with x" - No it's not! Not for anyone that cares about the quality of their app, theres a whole heap to learn.

And I am learning, but at the same time I'd rather create a well designed app with the crummy tech I know than a crummy app in something I just haven't figured out yet. Luckily I'm doing my own thing so have that choice.
