I was expecting something very different from the word "koans". IMO, "React.js exercises" would be a better title for the project.

Same. Although apparently the word is misused a lot : http://www.lauradhamilton.com/learn-a-new-programming-langua... Not sure if this is a fight we can still win.

Outsider's perspective looking in: This is hacker versus cracker all over again.

People are probably awful... They hear a new word, don't know what it means, and then copy it all over the place until it doesn't mean anything anymore.

The setup doesn't appear to be working from a windows/mingw32 environment. (Most npm installers do work in this environment.)

I've tried the instructions (npm run setup) on both a Mac and Ubuntu and resulted on several screen-fulls of npm ERR! messages. Again killed my mild curiosity for React.
