You might check the comments at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8679245 for alternatives (React, for example, seems to be gaining mindshare), but this may also be a good time to reflect on the broader implications (as many are doing there as well).
Do note that React is just a view library; you'll need something like Flux or your own framework or library of choice to actually make an application with it.
I respectfully disagree. You'd need flux when you have too many stores talking to each other. Not every app becomes complicated enough to warrant that. You can get started with using an EventEmitter based Store and later refactor into actions and dispatchers if required.
And React is not just the 'V' in MVC. I've seen everyone repeating it (including the official docs), and I'm still not sure what it is trying to say. I wrote about it in a previous comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8653517
