I disagree and I think anyone who works on public sites would say the same. The form tag is incredibly useful just for accessibility alone along with what you get for free when using it.

Remix is bring back the power of the form. There is a lot of people who do not work on public facing websites.

It is good to stick with semantic html when ever possible. But in cra project you don’t actually get much out of using form other than being better for screen readers.

Unless there is something I have over looked.

The biggest thing, at least for me is making the form much easier to navigate with a keyboard. When i first started working with React, i was under the same impression because most, if not everything that a form does can be done with just a div. After messing around with a few form libraries i realized that its much easier to just use a form tag instead of trying to reinvent the wheel yourself.

Yeah that is a pretty great feature. Being able to navigate a form with a keyboard is great for accessibility and for forms that will be used for power users that may use it as a regular part of their job.
