While I appreciate another look at React, I have to disagree with the article's conclusion that React is "objectively better" than other frameworks. The summary article of the story is basically "we completely re-architected our application and things are better now". There's nothing in Backbone that makes you construct the initial architecture on display, and you can use Backbone to build the final architecture as well. So, moral of the story: re-architecting an application you know more about than you did at the beginning is probably a good thing.

That is right.

But an architecture that is newer and learned from other architectures is probably a good thing too.

And React / Backbone / or whatever will not be the last architecture.
