1. That part is clearly about my first superficial impression and how I later discovered those impressions were...let's say "insufficient", at least in the context of how React is now presented.
2. I later listened to an interview with Pete Hunt, one of the original creators on The Future of Coding
I was once again surprised, this time pleasantly, that building an MVC-style framework like the desktop ones (Cocoa, Win-flavor-of-the-month, etc.) was exactly what they were aiming for.
Their implementation of those concepts was different, but it was what they were aiming for. I don't know what exactly happened, but it is a common occurrence that adopters of a technology are much more religious about it than the initial creators, who tend to be more pragmatic.
And of course, the humorous point that MVC solves exactly the supposed problems of MVC that React is trying (and trying, and trying, and trying...) to solve just never gets old.
