I thought about that when constructing the demo but opted to use the JSX / plain JavaScript version because that's what's displayed on the React homepage. We have a strong preference for Haml and CoffeeScript dialects so that's how we present our demos. I built jsfiddles based on how each framework presented their own product.

It is indeed displayed on the front page, in vanilla JS, but that doesn't change the fact that it's not a very accurate comparison, providing that the point you're trying to prove is LOC. The React version also showcased attributes such as `className`, which Hamlet didn't. Nothing against CoffeeScript; just picking on the comparison itself. Also, React is a view library, not a full-stack framework. The fact that it's put on the same level as other real JS frameworks is an acknowledgment of its paradigm's power and usefulness. So I guess people viewing it as a framework is a misleading but very telling phenomenon. That being said, good luck with the project!
