I love Cycle.js, because it allows to be used for any application and still feel natural, while other frameworks tend to concentrate on the DOM and leave out the other stuff. One brilliant example here is HTTP with React/Redux. There are X redux middlewares, but it still does not feel first class.
I also like that with Cycle, you state your intentions explicitly, every possible interaction with the outside world (DOM, HTTP, WS, etc) is injected into your app.
Never had a better testing experience than with cycle.
Disclaimer: I recently became core contributor to cycle.

At a high level, I really buy into Cycle.js, but I haven't yet found the time to dive into the details. As we ponder these choices without a strong deadline, it's a great time for me/us to give it a good look.

On a side note, you and anyone else on the team is super welcome to post on dev.to and use the platform to spread the Cycle gospel to your heart's content. I enjoyed your post from back in April. Cross-posting from other sources is welcome.

I recommend watching Andre's introductory course, where he builds a toy Cycle from scratch.
Shows very well that there is no magic in Cycle.js, that you are able to write a toy version yourself (imagine that for Angular).

And i will post a few articles in the near future, at least one of them about Cycle.js
