I didn't say it's more complex, I just said more steps.
Yes, if app is planning on being more complex, sure use Angular or Backbone or Ember or React. Otherwise, don't. Your pet projects sure, use it; if my team is billing clients, I've learned from experience, you're screwing them if you're not just using basic jQuery or even raw JavaScript which is a lot better to work with these days. If your reasons are only rooted in your abstract preference of design ideals w/o looking pragmatically at the situations, you're likely doubly screwing them.
Fyi this "paradigm shift" is like 8 years old, React is not disruptive, it's just another variation.
