I think you mean Reactive Extensions since that uses observables. React(.js) is about component rendering as functions of app state and tries to get away from explicit observation. I've used Rx with some UI stuff but have not found it to be a panacea for complex applications.
I would be very interested to see efforts to implement React.js ideas on the desktop.
Yes I meant what "Reactive Extensions" does. Should've been clearer that it was a reference to "functional reactive programming" and not a specific library.

edit: "Async Javascript at Netflix" is a great talk on this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRYN2xt11Ek
