Not a bad thing. Just a personal preference of trying to separate views and view models for a long time. I believe it just needs some time to get used to it. As I said, I really do like declarative nature of JSX, knowing that it's just compiled to a regular JS/DOM code.

A bit late, but my thought is that compiled to js/Dom api to me implies that it's compiled directly to document.createElement and friends.
