For me it's quite the opposite. I find that so confusing when you look at html in JavaScript and don't know right away what the result will be. It's like were back in 2002 doing PHP.
Different strokes for different folks - my thought to that is pretty much that I don't really care what the result will be on the grand scheme, but more specifically isolated nodes and how they will interact with my model/data etc.
Having the ability to see exactly what's in scope right next to the markup to me is invaluable - one of my biggest dislikes in templating languages is swapping between files that define the data in the scope and the template to use said data.
