The current enthusiasm around React seems somewhat reminiscent of jQuery about 15 years back. It was the first library to solve a problem that plagued the entire industry. It was widely adopted and considered almost a "standard", to the point where you will now find an entire graveyard of Stackoverflow questions about DOM manipulation where the answer is "just use jQuery".
My gut feeling is that the same will happen to React in the next 5 years, possibly as a result of more native support for web components and front-end state management. I was writing Visual C++ front-ends around the time jQuery first appeared. Front-end state management should not be this complicated.
