This feels like it builds off of the philosophy of not being a victim.. if you find a problem, just fix it. In these use cases, that is simple to do.

Re: React Makes You Sad?
#12I've just started playing with React and my general opinion is that it's a very 'Facebook' project. Lots of restrictions on what you can do and when keeping all of the coders in line with what you're supposed to be doing and following the 'Facebook' way of programming. I'm sure it's great for writing traditional crud apps, but anything outside of the box that it wasn't intended is a major pain requiring major hacks j…
This is the weirdest argument I've ever heard against React, and, as someone who does a fair bit of React work, I try to pay attention to all those arguments.

#13Perhaps the answer is to not use React.
FTA:
Q: "Are you still sad?"
A: "... Consider another stack that better suites[sic] your needs (eg. Ember)"
The author has anticipated that react is not always the solution that is appropriate, and provided guidance in the case that react isn't actually a good fit for the project at hand.

#14Some of these are a bit dubious. "Are you using a bundler?" If yes: "try not using a bundler." If no: "try using a bundler." Same for flux/redux.
I think you've missed the point. The thesis of the flowchart isn't that there's just one way to build React programs, but rather that it's the opposite: one reason people get sad with React is that they cargo-cult things from other projects that aren't relevant to their own project, and another reason is that people are missing things from other projects that might help.

Just my experience. Obviously not one that's common, but I was also doing something quite a bit different than most people that use it, I'm sure.

#16As someone who was almost immediately made happy by React, ES6, Redux, and boilerplates, I'm not the target audience. But I feel like this would make me un-sad if I felt overwhelmed by all the choices.
I think the Redux guide itself (http://redux.js.org/) also does a fantastic job of a very gradual release into complexity. I recommend that anyone who feels they may want a Flux-like store read through the whole guide. It took me a day or two, but I found it to be extremely clear and enlightening.

I'm with tptacek here. I think the point is to try different things, especially for dif use cases. For learning, get a holistic view, for production consider X instead of Y.
I found react to be really complicated and heretical personally. I don't like mixing languages, but if I do, I would like them to be tightly coupled. I have started to mess with vue.js which is really awesome. Even in as a meta point it would be like:
> using vue.js? > give react a try again. It has changed a lot in 2 years.

#20Lol. I found React interesting, too, but I don't like to read Javascript code, so I rolled my own React-like framework in Scala. Life is so much easier if you don't have to depend on other peoples mess.
Your comment would be helpful if it linked to something people could see, but otherwise, it just comes off as empty bragging, without a coherent critique. To me at least.
