> But what if I hate JSX? It's such a tight coupling to the DOM It has nothing to do with DOM in principle. It's just a convenient XML-like declarative syntax to describe a component tree. Think XUL [1] or Gtk+ Glade [2]. The <a>, <p>, etc. are components on the React.DOM namespace that output DOM nodes of the same name.
