Functional programming folks love React- Pretty much every clojure web framework is built on React. But yes, with some effort you can come up with a definition for "functional" which React will fail to meet.

I'm confused, I wasn't being pedantic about React. I was talking about frameworks like Angular that don't try to be purely functional.
