I'm working on rewriting an application from a React-like VirtualDOM approach to "ordinary" React components for a similar reason in that while my original approach had many things going for it (was theoretically more performant than React DOM, at least some of the time, according to benchmarks), it really is hard to beat the overall ecosystem around React today. Some things I never got around to doing with the old approach have out-of-the-box React controls and I don't really have to do anything to get those behaviors versus feeling like I was writing the whole world from scratch.
