When I first learned the top down data model and state stuff, I didn't like react. Then I found they altered Css and renamed tags like link.

What do you mean by "they altered CSS"?

render() {
  let className = 'menu';
  if (this.props.isActive) {
    className += ' menu-active';
  }
  return <span className={className}>Menu</span>
}

Instead of this:

   //where the style sheet is contains the className style 
  <span class="className">Menu</span>

When I first read about this many years ago I did not like it. I didn't understand it at the time.

I'd say that's "altered HTML" (JSX), but no CSS has been altered, right?
