Is React really comparable to things like Angular and Meteor? From what I understand, its supposed to be used in conjunction with a lot of other libraries, being only the 'V' in MVC and all.

That would disqualify Backbone too.

I'm not so sure, Backbone seems to do a lot more than React. I could just be talking out of my ass though, I've never messed with Backbone

Backbone offers some base objects/classes around Models, Views and Collections but does not enforce any specific architecture. It's completely up to you how you use it.

yeh i was wondering that too... but that's what I like about React actually. A simple skin for complex views on top of a server-side language (Java/Clojure for me).

It makes more sense to me since I don't want my entire site to be overly Ajax-y. I'd rather only feed a few initialization variables to js & have most of the site logic/navigation/variable-injection coming server-side from a nice persistence layer.
