It was hard to fit the title of the page along with a proper description but you can search through over 83 React boilerplate setups on github and even filter by the needed features of each, for example: Redux, Webpack, CSS Modules, live reload, ES6

Might as well jump in here. I started with Angular 1 and am slowly migrating into React while having looked at and played around with a lot of Angular 2's beta releases. And when I say React I guess what I really mean is (React + ReactDOM + Babel/JSX + Webpack + ES6 + Redux) My point being there is a lot of tooling and setup and config you need to do before truly getting into building something great or efficient with it. It seems Angular 2 is going this route as well and they also throw in their special Angular ways of doing things. Their documentation is good but the product right now seems a bit rushed to compete with React and is sort of this weird middle-ground between the ease of use that Angular 1 was and the dependencies/component break-up mess with React. I went into React with a bunch of comments saying it's "simple" and just the view and everything we've heard of already. Well React is "simple" in the way that Arch Linux is the simplest Linux distro. And building the "just the view" part somehow takes two or three times longer than it should compared to building out the entire application using a full MVC or whatever pattern you want (Granted this probably has to do with the complete architectural design pattern shift more than anything else). With React you're encouraged to adopt a sort of top-most level state management with Redux when designing it but I suppose you don't have to do it that way. Maybe it's just the functional reactive programming side of it that makes it so difficult to grasp at first. I'm still sticking with it. I've spent a good chunk of time on it so far and need to adopt it for a large-scale application and with React it does seem like there's going to be a lot of work initially in the design + component breakdown/layout phase before getting into the actual building but I'm just hoping it pays off in the end. I'm keeping an eye on Angular 2 to see how it matures but it does feel a bit limited in scope in a similar way that Angular 1 did in that you have to do things the Angular way and just hope you run into someone who has the same problem or uploaded their sample code for you to look at and adopt into your project or use one of the many popular UIs and addons etc. React has a bunch of those too and it's probably more difficult to find a good component since there's just so many of them out there at this point, but the main takeaway from React is that it's pretty much pure Javascript and you sort of build from scratch there. It's getting pretty frustrating now trying to look up guides or tutorials for React since it's likely to be outdated if they're not using Webpack or ECMA2015 or even ReactDOM since they separated it in version 14 or something so all guides/tutorials prior to around November or December 2015 is pretty much outdated and you're not getting best practices or approaches there. There is no "Angular way" around here it's just a lot of Javascript everywhere. Sorry for the large block of text.
I'm on IVPN now as my primary mostly due to this chart and my only gripes are:
It's expensive compared to the others, at $100 a year. I've never seen it go cheaper than this in any sales of any kind.
Some sites like Google will mark you as a bot and force captchas for searches, probably due to its userbase and their shared IPs.
Comparatively fewer servers compared to popular VPNs like PIA and TorGuard. This leads to me getting the same IP address for each server I connect to. Not sure if this is a pro or a con.
Otherwise, speed has been good, connection has been stable (a few disconnects here and there but it seems to have smoothed out for now), and I hope the chart is accurate in terms of security and privacy on their part.
I've tested many others including AirVPN and NordVPN as well but haven't seen a definitive reason yet for the higher price tag on IVPN. Not that I'm not happy with IVPN, which I am, I'm just also an incredible cheapskate.
In terms of security and speed, the two 'premium' VPNs are IVPN and VikingVPN. Viking also offers fantastic customer support, but my only gripe is that they don't run their own DNS servers (they use Cisco's OpenDNS). They also don't offer any exit nodes in Canada, but the company head (Derek) says it's because Viking is worried about Canada's data retention laws.
Likewise, I'm not affiliated with IVPN nor VikingVPN in any way. I think both are great choices.
Viking seems much more limited—and is US-based, which creates its own problems.
IVPN does look interesting, so I’ll have to re-review them… I’m still on Freedome’s trial, and it’s been working stellar including comparable speeds. Exit nodes in certain countries are also an important factor in my consideration, admittedly.
Not that I'm promoting any of them, I have my specific gripes with each of them as well.
NordVPN for instance has a ton of servers yet doesn't label the regional locations for them in the OpenVPN filenames. They're just labeled US-1 to US-339 and I ended up having to add random configs and hope it's one near my area. Their server map isn't accurate either and doesn't show all of them.
AirVPN I'm concerned with their user logging as they have this hub area for the community that reveals your username and when you're online as well as how much data you use and have a rankings for users or servers that use the most data each day/month. There's a log in anonymously checkbox but it's still a bit worrying to me.
I trust AirVPN. It's pretty typical for forum software to show when users are logged in. That has nothing to do with the VPN service. They do show VPN throughput for top users. That's a marketing thing, I think. And I'm pretty sure that users need to authorize having their names appear.
I also find NordVPN's labeling to be very confusing.

An interesting read from April which continues to be relevant and attributable to last Tuesday's primaries as well.
