So, yea I think this is a great thing and I don't mind JSX. It has been a pleasure to use ... I think. I can't help but be reminded about original PHP, though.

So, yea I think this is a great thing and I don't mind JSX. It has been a pleasure to use ... I think. I can't help but be reminded about original PHP, though. When PHP was new, you could write PHP but then you could also write your markup in the same file. The end result was a bunch of bad PHP and markup. JSX is not quite is liberal, but it's along the same vein. You kind of have markup in your Javascript, now (I say now, but I guess you did before in some cases where you built DOM elements with JS). Especially with components that also have HTML-literal content in them, like labels and text and stuff. Like, to literally change the text in a form or something, you might have to go edit your Javascript file ... no wait, your JSX file to change that. Javascript is also already enough of a pandoras box, in regards to common patterns and "how to do X or Y." I don't really know how to articulate my thoughts on it yet, but I feel like I lean towards rather not having to look at code with JSX in it than having to do so.
