You can think of it as sugar for `React.createElement()`, and some other stuff (like spread) but that's it. It's really easy to translate into javascript in your head.

Why is this good?

1. Let's say I want to stick a debugger in my template or render function. How would you do it in Vue? Angular? I don't know, gotta look it up, not even sure if possible. How would you do it in React? I don't have to look anything up, I just have to think (use an iife):

   <div>
     <SomeComponent
       debug={(() => { this.state; debugger; })()}
       someProp="prop"
     />
   </div>

2. Let's say I want to use Immutable.JS instead of plain js arrays. How would I iterate over an immutable list in Vue. In Angular? I don't know, probably have to download some third party directive. React:

    <ul>
      {immutable.toSeq().map(x => <li>x</li>)}
    </ul>
