It definitely doesn't make sense for all types of websites, but React seems to me like a solid choice any time a) a true web application is desired and b) maintainability, interactivity, and scalability are high priorities. React isn't the best choice for static informational sites and such, but I can't think of an application that wouldn't be well suited to React.

Fair enough, low latency, high interactivity applications aren't well suited, but those will always benefit from being as "bare metal" as possible.
