While separation of concerns is certainly good to have, Have we traditionally been using this in the right way ? I think not. In particular separation should be enforced among components which is what React encourages, not between facets of the same entity as we have practiced since the beginning. Coupling of styling and behavior with associated markup is pretty much inevitable for web applications and decoupling those just reduces the cohesion.
