Is there something about react that makes this difficult?

Is trying to work outside the virtual dom a constraint to creating motion on jsx elements?

I dont like the idea of jsx , reminds me of php with logic and templates tied together... does jsx make it tough to create an animation lib?

It's not jsx, which is just sugar for createElement(). It's because components are supposed to be stateless, but animations are inherently stateful.
