Templating critique

Thoughts on Templating languages

I get a lot of questions about what I think about Vue.

I won't comment too much on Vue in general because I'm not familar enough with it, but I'm very familiar with templating systems, and in articles praising Vue, the fact that it uses templating system instead of JSX is almost always cited as a reason to choose Vue. This drives me up the friggin' wall, because the negative side effects of templates are not communicated or discussed. JSX exists for good reasons. To me, JSX is a great simplification and clear improvement over templates.

Template languages are often sold on looking superficially good. I recently ran across yet another one of these articles citing the wonders of Vue, and especially templates. In this article, this JSX example is included:
