I'm a big fan of Ember, although a word of warning: To get the most out of Ember you should follow the Ember way of doing things, we found our selfs wrestling with Ember data, and APIs that don't follow standard responses (this is to be expected mind)
Still a great framework for large web apps.

Bear in mind I am asking this question as someone who has no experience in Scala/Play but is looking to learn some new languages/frameworks:
How do the Play framework and Scala.js work with each other? Can I easily write an application is Scala and then sprinkle Scala.js around to perform AJAX data fetching for example?

let alone coding styles or project/files layout
Agreed, the lack of project structure is in my opinion the biggest issues when building React apps. An interesting discussion on project structure can be found here: https://github.com/mxstbr/react-boilerplate/issues/27

Having worked on a small/medium React application after stepping back once the work was complete it began to dawn on me that React wasn't the holy grail of web development. The number of packages needed in order to glue parts together, the managing of state at times is just confusing and on boarding new team members can be painful. Not to mention the constant battle with updating packages and API churn of these packages. But what React does have is an incredible community and a very large backing (Facebook). There is also some very intelligent people working on React (https://twitter.com/dan_abramov, https://twitter.com/schrockn, https://twitter.com/soprano to name a few)
The idea of Elm (http://elm-lang.org/) excites me greatly but then again what's to say that Elm will be dead in a years time? My question, is there a framework out there that mixes the better parts of React (virtual dom, large community), the idea of functional programming and a server side aspect to build the back end in one package?

Can you explain these comments? I am currently developing a system using Dyanmo as the database, I need a JSON like structure as the documents need to be flexible as different documents will contain different keys. So I am interested to hear why you think Dyanmo is a bad choice.

How have you found dealing with the Navigation/Router and passing props. From my experience it was a real pain, for example when you change route the props wouldn't update or other odd quirks.

This can also be done in React with out the need of a 3rd party deploy tool as such. http://joshhornby.co.uk/blog/react-native-and-continuous-dep...
