On the following note:

> it should become faster whenever browser DOMs become faster

The killer feature of React is that it made it possible to efficiently rerender the entire UI and for developers to not have to write code to manually manipulate the DOM. I hope browser vendors take note of this and do more to support this use case. Ideally, morphdom should not even exist and we could instead have the browser natively do the job of diffing/patching the DOM. Admittedly, there would have to be a lot of details to work out, but React, virtual-dom and morphdom are working in the right direction. Behind the scenes, the implementation might change and any good UI framework should make this a non-breaking change.
