It&#x27;s not misleading at all. I&#x27;ve created several React apps without JSX. I just didn&#x27;t feel I had a need for it, and React without JSX worked really well.<p>People make these exaggerated comparisons of raw React code vs. JSX where they show unrefactored code with React.createElement spammed all over the place. With functional programming principles you can cut that syntax down to almost the expression power of JSX.
