Why You Shouldn’t Use ReactJS for Complex Projects

You don't architecture you project around React - you simply fit react in wherever you want to render the UI. React has a very small API, most of which are simple lifecycle methods for dealing with changes in the state of a component [1].

You tell React that you'd like to Render component X inside DOM element Y, and that's really all React does. There's no architecturing your project around React.

Even though, the number of React's API is still larger than [Binding.scala's API](https://static.javadoc.io/com.thoughtworks.binding/binding_2...).
