Sure, zero-config one-click installs are nice and all, but:

despite initially appearing to be an appropriate and effective response to a problem, has more bad consequences than good ones

Progress is made of compromises, this implies that we have to consider not only disadvantages, but also the advantages. Advantages do very clearly outweigh disadvantages. This doesn’t mean it perfect, or that work shouldn’t continue to minimize and reduce the disadvantages, but just considering disadvantages is not the correct way.

Of all the compile-to-languages, the one that strikes me as having the least merit is JSX. It's basically a ton of added complexity for the sake of what boils down to syntax. There are no real gains in terms of language semantics in JSX.

However, in practice I do not think these tradeoffs are enough to justify logic-less templates.

Cons aren't covered by pros.
