I'm new to both Meteor and React and I didn't see the importance of using one with the other.
What features React provides that doesn't exist in Meteor ?
React uses a different approach on building and managing UI interfaces.
For example Blaze uses jQuery to manipulate the DOM directly, while react.js is working on a virtual DOM (unattached) and when there is an update it diffs the actual & virtual DOMs and updates only the parts that differ, to make the actual DOM reflect the changes.
The big advantage of react is that you can construct reusable UI components (something similar to web components).
I would very much suggest reading this great article on react & meteor
Update 03.02.2016
The guys from Kadira, who are well versed in meteor and offer professional tooling for meteor, say that react is the way. They also published a mantra - which is basically a blueprint on how to build proper meteor apps. I suggest reading into it

I am very new to UnoPlatform. I am trying to create a new application. Yet for some time I am stuck at creating convenient way to navigate through views.
I searched through webs and forums. I found that the best design pattern would be MVVM. Demo Apps on platform.uno seems to be implemented using this pattern as well. However some approaches i found online are not possible with unoplatform, as far as I understand it.
To give an example:
The app starts at LoginPage. On successful login I want to be taken to a completely different view with different controls. One of the approaches I found is by holding currently active viewmodel and render pages accordingly.
Is there some approach you would recommend for navigating through views? Or some material I could read to understand this concept better?
Using MVVM Light, the navigation needs to be performed using the NavigationService, as you'll find in this documentation: http://www.mvvmlight.net/doc/nav5.cshtml.
You can also use Prism for Uno, which handles navigation per regions. You can find documentation here https://prismlibrary.com/docs/ and samples here: https://github.com/PrismLibrary/Prism/blob/c71957ad56c0cfedf479d46dcb1870c96232d86c/e2e/Uno/HelloUnoWorld.Shared/ViewModels/ShellViewModel.cs#L30

Currently i am working on a project it has react and react native technologies.we have used sass for designing the react app, now i want to do the same for the React native but it seems so many CSS properties are not supporting in
react native like display, pseudo classes and border properties,positions...etc, so it is difficult for me to design
a react native app so can any one suggest me a better approach/simple way to design a react native app.
Respectfully, you should try the basics first:

I am a beginner in React. I have been coding in AngularJS and bootstrap so far. I want to create an responsive application.
I have couple of questions to the developers who are already working on React:
My inclination towards something like bootstrap is because I do not want to spend a lot of time writing CSS. Bootstrap will give me ready CSS for common components like buttons, forms etc...but as bootstrap.js requires jQuery, does bootstrap works well with React? Can I use bootstrap 3 with React to create a responsive app? If not, is there any other CSS library I can use which works well for React?
In Angular, it was pretty easy to use some ready components from libraries like AngularUI which provided most common components one would ever need for an application. Is there any similar reliable library available alongside React as well which gives you common React components ?
I do not have any code samples at the moment because I have not really started yet and just want to get few doubts clarified first.
For bootstrap css styles, you should use
https://react-bootstrap.github.io
This is pretty good for react apps and it has many components with options to customize it's style.
Sorry, I'm not aware of any library like angular UI..

I am looking for a testing framework to kind of test the front end and design of my application. I am building an angular application and we are using Protractor for the end to end tests, however I was wondering how do we test the design and the actual layout.
For instance when my partner pushed code last week he broke the navigation menu barand we want to make sure we have automated test that makes sure that the css is not broken before we push it in to prod. I am open to all suggestions. I was wondering if protractor can be used for this or is there a a better tool?Protractor does give you ability to localte css elements by id etc but not sure if this is a smart approach.
It might not provide everything you need, but BackstopJS seems to be capable of handling CSS breakage:

While Single-Page application approach is rising as a web development choice, I still don't understand, practically, how would losing the ability to go back/forward in the browser be an O.K sacrifice? Imagine Facebook without direct page navigation! Is there an essential/direct purpose for SPA I can't get my hands on?
You wont have to give up back button functionality to develop a single page application. HTML5 has a history api (and there's polyfills for older browsers) which allows your to keep back button functioning properly.
The main reason (in my opinion) to go for a single page approach is the more app-like feel it gives you. For example gmail feels more like an app than a web page, and given its purpose, I think that's way it should be too. Another example might be the pixlr online image editor.
Single page approach indeed doesn't suit every purpose, but when you want a webapp to feel just that, instead of a website, then single page might be the way to go.
You mentioned direct navigation in comments, and that's totally doable if it's something that makes sense in your context. Angularjs can do that, and I'm sure pretty much every modern single page framework has a way of implementing this.
