That particular link is a strawman argument. React isn't magically fast. Writing a 5 line shouldComponentUpdate would normalize the performance.
If you think you can do better with something else, feel free to ignore the React hype. For my part, I've been doing frontend full time more or less exclusively since 2005 and have tried dozens of libraries/frameworks in earnest. I don't know of a better way to write client side code.
