My friends started using it, Stride clients started asking for it, and it's been getting serious buzz on the internet. So I realized it was time for me to learn React.
I've been an Angular guy for the past couple years, and I've gotten pretty good at it. I've seen its nooks and crannies, and I've grown fond of it.
But, like I said, it was hard to ignore React.
It's fast, it's light, it's new and shiny. So I dug in. I recently released an app, Farely, which I'd written in Angular. (Note: I didn't use directives like I should have.) I thought it'd be the perfect opportunity to try out React, since the app could be composed of components. It also wouldn't need anything React doesn't offer, like routing or complex data modeling.
