Isn't className custom DSL in React?

Vue's concepts in the v-* are more pleasant than the React way, imho. Learning a bit of DAL is not a blocker for me, given how many tools already require this

I'd rather just use JS syntax than learn a random v-* syntax.

You can just use the std lib to loop, filter, reduce, conditionally render, etc. rather than looking up how to loop in this specific framework with v-if, v-for, etc.

Angular 1 did that and it was limiting. Two-way data binding also failed.

Templates are dead, long live JSX.

Vue doesn’t do two way data binding.

Are you more likely to use it knowing that?

The data binding was a comment for React and against Angular and similar frameworks. The template syntax was a comment against Vue.

And no I'm not interested in Vue due to many reasons. I can expand if you're interested.

But why would you switch to copy cat frameworks when you have React and React Native?

My main point was for JS DSL and against proprietary template syntax, what are your thoughts on that specifically?

No, `className` is the DOM property exposed to JavaScript that corresponds to the `class` attribute in HTML: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/cla...

React JSX mostly uses JS DOM property naming (className, style, tabIndex) but converts a few HTML-style attributes (data-, aria-)
