Personally I'm a believer in Om, but am skeptical of the "global state is only for undoable actions" model it espouses. Personally, I think the application state should hold ALL state of an application... I think "undo" should be implemented using a separate mechanism.

The primary selling point (for me at least) is that the cursor mechanics greatly simplify inter-component communication for react components. If you're not seeing those benefits, then the architecture of your app must differ greatly from my own- From this limited information, I can't really explain the difference in impressions in any more detail.
