Sumnary: my preference is superior because some well-known companies use it. You could search and replace for any major component and have equally little to add to the conversation.

Hi acdha - sorry you didn't find this helpful. My intention wasn't really to bring anything new to the table. This actually was an adaptation of the real proposal we used to sell the technical leadership in a switch from Backbone based UI.

Mostly I've found blog posts about react to come in 3 flavors: 1. Something geared towards an audience that lives and breathes web and wants to learn about new tech 2. somebody's experience integrating 3. A tutorial of some kind illustrating how to get started.

It was my hope that I could help provide a concise starting point for others who are trying to migrate old stacks to React not to convey new insights :).

The main problem I have is from framing it as exclusively a business decision; for almost any issue, it's going to be a combination of the two.

This felt particularly odd since most of your examples are more technical than business issues – the only one which didn't feel like it was something just about everyone else claims as well is the list of large companies using React since that gets to a core business question of risk exposure.
