Is React without JSX really something anyone would use though? All the examples are in JSX. Do you have the same first class experience?

> isn't really Reactive.

The go to response of react users when confronted with "I want to do X, why can't I do X?". It might makes sense for you but it pushes a lot of developers away.

I use React without JSX. With CoffeeScript it the render function is nice an concise, and I can use all the regular goodies of a proper programming language.

Granted most of the components/UIs are simple, but it works.
