Stop using React for everything

React and angular.js don't really solve the same problems (though angular 2 is incorporating some react-like techniques). React is only the V (arguably a bit of C) from MVC, where as angular.js provides all three but does a rather crappy job on V IMHO. ng-react supposedly let's you use them together but I haven't tried it yet (I plan on it).

Yes, but beef I have with the cool kids I've worked with are they throw out the entire app: MVC, Server, etc. so they can use this magical V - then completely rewrite and wing the rest of the app "Oh it's, um, 'Flux Architecture'"

Yep. You certainly won't hear me advocate that, but I believe that people are doing it.
