I'm curious, can somebody talk about the differences between using React Native ...

With React Native you write your apps in JavaScript, in a React.js style.

My understanding is that ComponentsKit has you write your iOS apps with ObjC/Swift or whatever, but it gives you a way of structuring your apps that is similar to React.js

What it sounds like is that your data-flow will be react-app-like (flux).

ComponentsKit is Objective-C++ only (no Swift).

I think they've said they are working on a Swift port (at the end of that F8 video talking about it).

Yes. I think it will be worth the time to rethink it for Swift, because Swift is much better suited for this style of programming than Objective-C++.
