Addy Osmani recently published a post about using them together: http://addyosmani.com/blog/component-interop-with-react-and-custom-elements/
My take on it is this: Web Components plus things like Object.observe and DOM manipulation observers are going to remove much of the existing need for React by making manipulating and observing the DOM much more efficient. That being said, there will still probably be some cases (Divshot, my company, has some in mind) in which a virtual DOM will still be necessary or preferable for various reasons. I see React as being something like a specialist in a post Web Components world, to be called in to handle jobs that don't suit the normal DOM well. This is just my two cents.
