"Littering code with this" is exactly how plain old vanilla JS works. Besides, "littering your code with this" very much depends on where your callbacks and variables come from... as in any old plain vanilla Javascript code. Because JSX is a paper-thin DSL on top of vanilla JS. Brilliantly and succintly described in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17474370

In Vue you don't litter your code with this. You litter your code with hoisted variables and functions that are arbitarily hoisted into scope and injected everywhere. See my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17471199 starting at "Of course. See inline comments."

The amount of gotchas and special syntaxes, and special cases, and the amount of moving part you have to understand to see where things come from and go to in Vue is insurmountably larger than in JSX.
