This is what worries me. We are using Angular, and my non-technical co-founder knows just enough HTML and CSS that she makes a very useful contribution to our front-end development. Sometimes the contribution is in the form of HTML mockups produced outside of our app that are easy for me to port over, and sometimes it's direct contributions to the codebase. I worry that if I went the React JSX route that it would be much harder for her, or pure designers that we might hire, to meaningfully pitch in.
My understanding was that forgoing JSX would make the situation worse by falling back to imperatively manipulating the (virtual) DOM within your component. If there is a way to have an external, declarative HTML document using React I would be very interested.
