I think everybody reacts quite viscerally to JSX the first time they see it. Mostly because it looks like something that has been tried in the past and didn't work then. It's actually not like that at all, though. It's decidedly not a template language but just an alternative syntax for JS.
It stopped me from paying attention to React until someone suggested it might be the best fit for a problem I had and I followed the introduction's plea to "give it five minutes".
Turns out it's exactly what I wanted and needed. It comes with a lot of (optional but related) other good ideas like immutability and unidirectional data flow. I can't wait to see how React Native works out.
