I think the big difference is that with React a lot of interactions can be completed completely client side, with the server side component happening only after the fact (asynchronously).

I’ll grant you that that isn’t often the case, and recovering from inconsistencies is pretty painful, but I can see how people would go for that.

I kind of like the idea I can just build all my code in one place instead of completely separate front and back-end though.
