To paraphrase something I've heard: JSX proves that HTML actually won.

And you can see this because even in a language with concise object literals like JS, a markup based syntax is nicer. There are template systems where you write objects, and I find them cumbersome and they're not very popular.

That’s completely an opinion, and I have another one. Html sucks at reading and writing, it is cumbersome (and also non-typed, and non-structured), and js structs/calls are much better for creating these trees.

Jsx proves nothing but that react team had to make a decision about format and they decided to not experiment with formats due to drop-in compatibility. That’s it.
