React, but specifically JSX. I’ve seen a lot of JSX in the wild and it just looks unreadable to me. I’ve tried to get into it with an open mind, but not for me. I prefer a specific templating syntax (like vue’s Or angular’s) for 99% of use cases I run into.

What specifically is unreadable to you? Just curious because I've moved from React to Vue and I found them quite similar.

The mangling of JS and HTML is very confusing to me. I imagine it becomes easier to read with time, but it isn’t natural for me.
