What makes React great is that you write a UI tree that updates when state changes instead of imperative code like a clearRect() + drawLine() cycle.

This project and others like React Native show that it works outside of the DOM: you just render something else instead.

Thinking that React is only helpful for DOM UI seems like a misunderstanding of what React is and what makes it great.
