React works fine without JSX. var DOM = React.DOM; DOM.div() etc.

Sure - but that's quite horrible to write. And moreover it requires a sophisticated virtual DOM diffing algo, hence the size of React's library.

I prefer to do this:

render: function() { return { view: { classList: { editing: this.model.editing, completed: this.model.done } } } }

Compared to outputting the entire HTML for the component in render().
