Facebook, the product, did not use React until very very recently.

Do you use FB? If Facebook’s interface represents the “UI leaders of the world” we’re in troubled waters!

Can you say more about why we'd be in troubled waters for such a thing?

Facebook and its non-titular products are probably used by the most people in the world. The org is 50k people, and I imagine their engineering staff is proportionally quite large - they rarely introduce bugs and seem to have quite a good update cycle. There is a huge featureset and the website performs very well.

IME you could measure page transitions in seconds, it is an extremely slow website
