I've been playing with React a little bit, and so far I like the experience a lot.

Rendering is incredibly quick, since React only touches the parts of the DOM that have changed. Components are very lightweight, so you can break down the UI in as many, self-contained parts as you like.

And you can do pretty much anything you like without ever having to use a single selector or DOM manipulation. That means that you only need classnames for CSS.

The only downside I've discovered so far is the extra tooling required to use the embedded HTML, and lacking compatibility with other tools, but I suppose that will become better with time.
