As far as I'm concerned <a onClick="function('value')"> was bad because 'function' was a global variable reference.

I don't think that's the case for React though so I'm not sure if the GP saw some other drawbacks in it (apart from the aesthetic of separating logic from presentation.)

In React, you would do <a onClick={this.props.foo('value')}> (for example) - JSX would interpolate that and set up the appropriate click binding, and the function is local to the component.
