Transpiling is complexity. You don't have to transpile if you just use web technologies (JavaScript, HTML, CSS).


Of course it is, but saying it's "a ton of complexity" to use JSX, while not saying the same for transpiling current and future ECMA-262 syntax into what browsers support right now is disingenuous.


No it's not, transpiling future ECMA-262 is not within the scope of this discussion. We are compared browser-native language features JS (non transpiled), HTML, CSS, to non-native features, namely JSX.
