Why is Jsx a hurdle? Because you need a transpiler?

I find it the other way. Vue has a big learning curve. Learning their special directives and double binding gotchas takes a while.

While jsx is a very thin layer for existing Js. All control flow is good ol js. The tags just translate to createElement/h calls. React (class based React) was easy to pick up.

Yes, the transpiler (though everybody is already bundling these days). I really like JSX, though it's not everybody's cup of tea.

I also think other folks in this thread are referring to mounting on existing DOM in jQuery-esque use cases.
