When I scroll down the Vim Awesome home page, click a link, and then go back to the home page (Alt-Left), I'm directed to the top of the home page rather than the location on the home page where I left off. Is this issue caused by React? (Every site I've evaluated that's powered by Meteor has this issue, and I hate it.)

No, this is most likely an artifact of react-nested-router (https://github.com/rpflorence/react-nested-router) not currently preserving the scroll position. Definitely not a constraint imposed by React.

Edit: Or this may be due to the fact that we don't properly cache the fetched plugin list on the client side so we end up re-fetching it when you go back. Either way, this is not a React problem.

Yes, this is my bad. :) I added an issue to GitHub about it: https://github.com/divad12/vim-awesome/issues/14

Pull requests welcome!
