Clearly the author has never heard of ClojureScript's Om.

How does Om not suffer from the same problems? It's just an Clojurescript interface to React.
Om is not an interface to React but rather React is the backend to Om.

I wouldn't use React out of the box, for pretty much the very same reasons outlined in the slides.

Quoting the github README:

Om: A ClojureScript interface to Facebook's React.

I would suggest Reagent as a good example of simple API on to p of React
Easier to learn doesn't quite mean "simple". I prefer Om not just because I took the time to learn it, but because it makes more sense once you do.
Can you explain? I don't see lot of sense in om's complexity personally, but maybe I'm wrong.
