> First reason is we hate JSX. It forces you to write loops, conditionals, etc, outside of the markup you are currently writing/reading. It's like writing shitty PHP code without templates.
You could theoretically write some template components and "avoid" javascript altogether. I wonder if anyone has actually done that?
JSX isn't perfect, but I find the dirty things about it can be mitigated by keeping your components small, and if that isn't possible then keeping the render function small by breaking it out into several functions that return pieces of your markup. Writing small functions is sound general programming advice, but it seems especially true with JSX/React.
