I loved React when it first came out. I never got into MVC frameworks like Backbone or Angular because they felt too heavy, but React came as a promise that it was only the View layer and that provided a lot cohesion, as you say, compared to too much jQuery.

But now it just feels so heavy and that the initial elegance has been lost to history entirely.
