This conversation could be had about any abstraction. They help with some things and hinder other things. In this case, a purely functional transformation from application state to HTML means you don't have to think about every possible transition between states like you would in a normal jQuery application. However, since you are not thinking about transitions, implementing transition animations will be harder.
