Other commenters have thought that I dislike JSX because I like separate, string-based templating languages, but I think those are terrible! I hate JSX from a language design standpoint. Writing HTML templates as functional code in your language of choice is a big win, but inventing a new language "with all the beauty of 2001's PHP and the modernistic pretentiousness of pseudo-functional JS" is a big lose.
