Except remember, RxJS is also a growing standard and the virtual-DOM Cycle.js uses has been tested to be a fair amount faster and robust than the one React has.

Then there is also Cycle's Model-View-Intent pattern and leading edge work on component integration, which is in line with W3C standards. Cycle's drivers also allow Cycle.js to integrate or target many options.

Things have been fragmented and Cycle.js seems to have brought the best together, representing a new and intelligent vortex of progress.

Before I took the time to understand what Cycle.js was about I was naive and thought React was it. I now understand how poorly it's reactivity has been implemented. On the other hand Cycle.js is fully reactive and has brought structure, flow and a sense of intelligence back to my app development.
