I argue that React is only difficult because you have to unlearn a lot of bad "tricks". For me the hard part to learn was JS..

I only started JS development because React enables me to build UI software like i always have done, except now in a browser.

React is components 101 for use in browsers. Flux is business logic 101.

Both (React/Flux) are great for devs that have no prior experience with building normal desktop applications. And ideal for devs that DO have that experience. That is where the (non-early) adoption wave is comming from imho.
