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.

Risk exposure is a BIG issue and is actually one of the primary points of leverage since we were transitioning from a Backbone meta-library that had recently been deprecated. I'll agree that tooling choice needs to be a good technical AND business decision but I do think it's important to address the concerns of those who are maybe gunshy after their last transition from maybe jsp -> jQuery.

I agree that the information is technical but it's not above most many of the business side people who can speak the language a bit. I'm confident that most of these things can either be directly tied to the bottom line or help dispel concerns about how a transition can be made effectively.

Thanks for the feedback!
