You need a lot more control over how the views transition, pass state, etc. in order to create a native-feeling app.

The paradigm of links and parameters falls short, and eventually TouchstoneJS will exert a lot more control over the transitions. Right now we're using CSSTransitionGroup, but I expect we'll move to a JS-based transition method (possibly with tween-state) so you can do controlled or partial transitions (required for things like drawers or swipe-from-left to go back)

We have spent a lot of time looking at react-router though, and are using it on other projects, and are / will be borrowing quite a few things :)

That's fair enough. I'm looking forward to testing Touchstone out soon, I've got a test project in mind!
