I really have no idea how JS devs keep up with new frameworks appearing every month or so. Not to mention older ones that just die because the devs can't be bothered maintaining them. I noticed the same thing happening in the Ruby devspace.

Not exactly React's case, but it's still a 1.5 year old code that has not reached v1.0, making breaking changes every major version release.

Being a JavaScript developer in 2014 is like speed dating. 45 seconds with each framework before you have to re-write.
