I only just got my head around angular, and now flux + react have come along and wrecked the party.

I was you ~6-7 months ago. My biggest motivation for evaluating and eventually working with React was its simple philosophy. With it comes a lot of power. The ability to create an accessible application that rendered on the client and server side and didn't even require Javascript in the client to function. https://github.com/chadpaulson/react-isomorphic-video-game-s...

React is simple - at its core, it's a pile of functions that return the expected state of the DOM, along with event handlers.
Flux seems slightly overly complicated for a lot of uses (i.e. if you're not building a massive interdependent single-page app on the scale of Facebook or GMail), and if you have no issue with MVC, you can just use an MVC paradigm with React as the view.
