Subjective indeed. If the goal is to leverage the full expressiveness of JavaScript, you could just alias React.createElement to something like `h`. Or use something like https://github.com/caderek/react-plain

Yeah, but that's harder in practice. You often copy html snippets into your code, for example from tailwind or bootstrap samples. This is easier in JSX syntax; you'd just need to copy and fix up some attribute names.

I literally never do this, but I suppose there are people who use React/JSX as a glorified templating library. Even then I probably wouldn't do this and rather use a proper templating library where HTML is valid.

It's very common if you're working with Tailwind (since the markup is self-contained). No need to be condescending.

Sorry, I did not mean to be condescending. I do use Tailwind, but even then I don't really copy-paste HTML examples.
