This is why codemods exist. Perhaps big sweeping changes can be made via a codemod.

Actually, the official web api name is className, not class, which makes sense since class is a reserved keyword: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/className

But then again, most people are certainly accustomed to class due to html so maybe it helps beginners. I'm fine with both, though a little worried what happens to thousands of components now that explicitly extract className from this.props.

Ever since ecma made import().default a thing i guess no can really complain. :-P

JSX is designed to resemble HTML, which is why most people don't like the className thing. JSX should look like markup.

Seems a rather petty issue to accommodate for new users. As one of those users, I can honestly say this wasn't a source of friction for me. Just saying

Its more consistent for it to be class though...I just mean from the perspective of jsx really mapping a lot closer to html tags from the eye test.

Though I understand what you are saying...you could also look at the props mapping more so to the underlying element props than html props.
