Hmmm. any other references for this being bad? "Returning JSX from functions". For your trivial example, I'd agree, but sometimes it's not that crazy to do w/o creating separate files. What about them makes them hard to read?

Yeah, for me it's about reducing the complexity of all components and minimizing context switching but sometimes it might be the right thing to use a function. In my experience though it's better to either inline the JSX or move it to another component in the vast majority of cases. (Altough that component might still live in the same file if it's tightly coupled).
