it's only what I already know, Javascript and HTML

But it's not. "className", much?

Oh boy, "className" and "labelFor". See, wasn't that hard to learn JSX if you already know HTML.

I'm not saying it's hard. But {?variable} isn't hard either.

I think you meant htmlFor, no? But I completely agree with the sentiment that it is nice to stay as close to plain HTML and JS as possible.

Yeah, thanks. I don't actually remember if I've ever used it :D

Sure. But that's different than <div className="blah">.

Not much. These are actually the Web API attribute names you should use when accessing these attributes from a non-HTML language (e.g. JavaScript).

The React folks didn't make them up.

w3schools might have gotten a bit better lately, but please use MDN as a reference:

They offer so much more context.
