Absolutely. I agree. And there are lots of other points worth arguing too.

My point in bringing up something like the difference in character count (not counting characters in the dependencies) is that just calling the function is already more work than basic html. That immediately is a NO for me.

One could argue maintenance, incompatibilities, bloat, optimization, debugging, and so much more.

To nitpick, to get your HTML, the OJ example could actually be:

> BulletList('They','create','themselves')

So no, it's not more work (41 characters).
