React is a pain to use with web components. The event handling in React blows up when it is rendered under shadow DOM, so building chrome extension through React can be a bit of pain.

They are aware of the issue, but too slow in responding to pull requests and mostly reject them for being 'not good enough'

When we accept a pull request, we have to support that code forever, so I hope you'll excuse us for being a little bit picky in what we accept.

Shadow DOM event support should be in 0.14.
