JSX mixing presentation logic and views seems to me like they have reinvented PHP. PHP is derided for this, but also for it's shaky implementation and semantics. JSX seems like Good PHP and that's a big deal because PHP is wildly successful despite being awful.

JSX isn't really HTML, though. It's a way to describe React components in a familiar syntax that resembles HTML. It's a far cry from concatenating strings of HTML like you do in PHP.
