I would argue React will be around a while for two reasons:

- The core language has gotten a lot better with ES5+ features. Async, fetch promises, etc., are all now built-ins on modern browsers, and have learned lessons from the pain points the initial implementations in libraries like jQuery.

- React itself is only a view layer with minimal concern about the form of your data -- you can use an array of other libraries on top of it to help with shared states, network requests, etc.

Will someone come along and do a view layer better than React? Probably. Will it be as big of a leap as what we've seen over the past few years with ES5/6/7 & React? I don't think so.
