React (and Om for cljs) looks extremely appealing but I imagine it is probably not possible to use non-React components e.g. jQuery and jQueryUI ones together with React code on the same page/app.
Can anyone confirm?

14React works within a _virtual_ DOM, so it isn't very useful to manipulate objects on the _actual_ DOM in parallel. In this way, jQuery and others don't play too well with React. However, there are ways of referencing the actual DOM, through `getDOMNode()`, etc that will allow you to integrate your existing jQuery plugins to work with React. See http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/working-with-the-browser.html for more info. – Dave Feb 10 '14 at 09:33

Yes, react can play well with your libraries.
Check out the documentation:Integrating with Other Libraries

26While it *can* play well, you have to be careful, because if your other library happens to modify some part of react-controlled HTML, your app will stop working. You have been warned. – mik01aj Aug 06 '15 at 11:47
