> Minified at 124k. Sure, but with gzip that's absolutely negligible. Unless your app utterly tiny, 124K is nothing.
Well React is just a view engine so you have to combine it with something else, usually a flux implementation. Then if you want to make things even easier you throw in ImmutableJS which is not small either. Or you might just use Omniscient which wraps this all up into a nice package.
But by this point you're close to 400k pre-gzip. That's gigantic compared to the competition. IIRC MercuryJS (which has a VDOM and Immutable data structures) is like 40k. Mithril (which is an MVC VDOM library) is 15k.
