That's such a silly bug to fix tho...

It is bad. You got used to bad. I just want to place comments in my code, in exactly the place where they are relevant, not somewhere outside. Of course I can just delete or move the code comment. JSX remains bad though, it forced me to do something because it is limited in understanding constraints

Clean Code in a nutshell I guess. Having comments within code is sweet, allows for a little personnality while reading something considered "formal".
But with your screenshot, I guess I wont be trying JSX in a while !

Just a post on 10 reasons would also suffice to get me reading 🙂

This definitely sucks.
Can you point to something better, though?

In the past I've used a thing called hyperscript that allows you to write

h('div', {propsHere}, [childrenHere])

Or

div({propsHere}, [childrenHere])

I don't have a library to point you to, but this approach is very easy to implement.
