All I’ll say is that when I go over to projects where I’m writing HTML or HTML-like stuff (Vue, for instance), it feels like a breath of fresh air.

There's something to be said for constraints, and easy parse-ability

I experimented with a project once that could programmatically build a DSL for running e2e tests. The enabling factor was constrained html-like templates[0]. It would never have gotten even close to working with JSX.
