#2In my view, one of the huge benefits of react is the lack of two-way data binding, since the one-way flow of flux is far easier to think about IMO. Speed is one thing, but when the framework you have is fast enough, a little more for a sacrifice of code reason-ability seems undesirable.

Well, one problem is declarative programming has never been as expressive as imperative programming. In React you'd use JavaScript for this iteration. This is why I like React over say Angular, with ng-each, ng-if, etc. Flow control does not belong in markup. I cringed the first time I saw an XML schema with an IF element.

No. Just no.

#5I agree. I am not saying jsblocks is better. It is choice of what you prefer. jsblocks offers Backbone like MVC structure and easy to manage observables. It also have a unique debugging experience - http://jsblocks.com/learn/introduction-why-jsblocks#debuggin....
It also packs things like routing and animation integration which React lacks out of the box.

#6It's not hard to be faster than React, React's performance benefit comes from the fact it makes performance easy to understand and optimise rather than just being magically (but opaquely) fast.
However, the real reason React is a good choice is not performance, but rather how it encourages developers to think about, isolate and better manage mutable state in their applications.

#8lodash slower than underscore? Isn't lodash's primary purpose to be a more performant drop-in for underscore? Would love to see these benchmarks in a jsPerf.

#9This is interesting, but it doesn't excite me. My initial reaction is to be curious as to why it's able to thrash underscore and lodash (and React too, but separately) on speed.
There could be many reasons for this. Maybe I'm personally not interested in adopting a new framework, maybe your target audience (which includes me) has some sort of fatigue or lack of interest, maybe speed isn't enough of a reason to sell me (or us) on its own, or maybe your landing page needs work. I'm not sure, but maybe my comment will help identify an/the issue – or maybe there is no issue, and it's just me.
Thanks for making a JS framework and posting it here. That takes a lot of guts and is notorious for inviting hostility. I appreciate it.

You could take a look at the performance chart at the home page and inspect the project containing the tests - http://jsblocks.com/downloads/jsblocks-performance.zip.
In general rendering and syncing changes are faster.
