I Heard React Was Good
summary
A candid run-through of why React is just a view layer and how it is actually used: a team replaces Jekyll flat notes with a modular chalk notes system built on components, props and lifecycle hooks, with server-side stack of node and Express; an Avatar component demonstrates reusable props and stateless components; fetch or superagent handle Ajax; webpack and Babel setup causes friction; Redux/Flux appear only when global state forces them; virtual DOM diffs yield real speed gains.
