I remember the old saw about "alternating hard and soft layers". React and WC are exactly that. WC provide the "hard layer" basically an extension of HTML as a platform. React is the soft layer we use to assemble the WC into our working applications. Think C components, plus Python. Or C++ COM and Visual Basic.

The only problem is that React and WC do not interface very cleanly for events, or properties. Once that is fixed it's going to be a great combination. Just wish the React team would put more a higher priority on that.
