A JS framework is vanilla-js by definition. What you people fail to understand is the difference between a language (Javascript) and an API (the DOM). There is no DOM by default with Node. It would be stupid to say that Node isn't vanilla-js. Someone who is using jQuery is (obviously) using vanilla-js. People who can't tell the difference are the ones that should be mocked, not the ones using a framework because it's convenient. So please go read the javascript spec and educate yourselves about what javascript is.

That I can always do but sadly, developing a sense of humor for a healthy dose of lighthearted self-deprecation will pose a far more difficult challenge for many HN readers.

It's an occupational hazard. Sometimes the sense of humor gets minified/uglified and deflated along with the code.
