I think you're pretty heavily stating your own opinion as fact here. I have the opposite opinion and consider the React equivalents much easier to read than the Reagent examples you linked to, because I find the syntax more expressive.

(Also please don't tell me I don't understand the lisp-syntax due to 'familiarity', I've heard that a thousand times and it's not the case, I just don't agree with the syntax trade-off).
