The referenced pull request for removing the s ( https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/5753 ) is terrific - a real paragon of open-source professionalism.

Agreed. I'm really impressed by the professionalism shown by all members of the React ecosystem. Just the other day I had noticed a org member of the reactjs org (houses react-router, redux, etc) who was acting very unprofessional and expressed that it was a turn off seeing official members of the org basically telling a issue reporter/discussion was "annoying them" and Ryan Florence stepped up and said he was not tolerating that and even reached out to me on Twitter apologizing and saying that they do not condone such tones.

+1 to this. High-quality code from @mwiencek right out of the gate, and he was super responsive to my comments when I asked for changes. We're really grateful for the contribution.

Great to see React continue to improve and streamline as new versions come out. They've managed to avoid the huge bloat that happens to frameworks as they age. Kudos.

Has Facebook removed the potentially dangerous patent restrictions? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8985541

We updated the patent grant to be less restrictive in response to community feedback about a year ago (several months after the discussion you linked):

https://github.com/facebook/react/commit/b8ba8c83f318b84e429...

Since that change I've heard few complaints, and I know for a fact that several large companies who were previously unwilling to use it are now content with the language.

As a recent converter from Angular to React, I'm so excited for this release. Great job Dan & React Core Team!

Angular two lost me.

Yeah I wasn't too thrilled with Angular 2.x either. I had always been watching React and liking it, but I had no experience with it. So one day I decided to give it a whirl and see how far I could get converting the Angular 1.5 app I had already started and get it to the equivalent state in React.

Long story short, I took 40+ hours of Angular 1.5 code and converted it to React code in a single 8 hour work day without any prior experience in React. I was both impressed and giddy. The next day I merged that reactify branch into my develop branch, and continued on.

I feel that React does components better. I feel that Angular 1.5's introduction of the component sugar over top directives and even components in Angular 2.x just felt shoehorned in as an afterthought.

I couldn't even spend a day trying to figure out how to componantize this app in Angular 2.x let alone 1.5.

Now I'm head deep in learning as much about the ecosystem as I can, Redux, Relay, GraphQL, all that good stuff. I've officially ditched Angular for the React ecosystem.
