Just Use HTML

Using JavaScript to generate HTML can complicate projects unnecessarily.
JavaScript-generated HTML is slower to load, slower to run, and more prone to breaking.
HTML is simpler, more readable, and closer to the final output than JavaScript-generated HTML.
JavaScript is best used for enhancing HTML, not replacing it.
Example 1: Form submission in React involves unnecessary complexity with controlled inputs.
HTML forms are simpler and more accessible, with native features like submitting on enter.
Example 2: API responses often generate tables from JSON, but servers could send HTML directly.
Shifting more work to the backend can result in faster, simpler, and more reliable apps.
