I’ve been exploring React over the past few days. It’s always hard to determine which projects are just fads and which are here for the long term. That said, I’m going to predict that React will be in the league of jQuery and Twitter Bootstrap within another year or so.

It has a good balance of simplicity, power and flexibility. I have Rails projects that don’t need a heavy JS framework like Angular or Ember, but which definitely need some client-side jazziness. I’ve a feeling that React will fill that need neatly.
