I'm not saying, "don't use an abstraction on top of vanilla DOM code".

Better performance just isn't a valid reason to use a DOM abstraction, it's a non-argument.

Performance was never the only reason. In fact its the last reason on the list. Development speed and efficiency and the modularity of it all is what sold me on React.
