I think it's completely fine to write a website/blog/newspaper in React, provided you make it isomorphic and keep it as light as possible. Then you get all of the advantages of using React with almost none of the disadvantages.

Of course, nobody does this in practice.

If your blog/newspaper/text+images website requires JS or it is not readable, you failed.

The two of you are agreeing: "isomorphic" in this context means "the server can render it to html and serve it like a normal webpage".

For those who like videos(unlike me) and Java (like me), this was a topic for one of the talks at JavaZone in Oslo last week and I watched that one on my way home today: https://vimeo.com/181925279

(Oh, BTW, JavaZone 2016 was Oracle-free and all talks seems to have been uploaded to vimeo with no restrictions on downloading.)
