The differences come at both ends of that transformation. Om is much more ambitious when it comes to managing that application state. It helps you to handle changing state (and tells you how to do that), whereas with Reagent you're pretty much on your own there. Reagent is just about rendering a UI, and leaves state management to you. At the other end, the UI description in Reagent is a vector of vectors (with the same structure as in Hiccup), whereas Om uses React's javascript "fake DOM" elements more or less directly. Reagent on the other hand keeps the UI description as immutable data until it really has to tell React what to put out there. Then there are obviously some differences in API, but I think that these are more superficial.
