I’m Joining LinkedIn

Well I have observed it. I've worked on many projects that used one of the big frameworks (including Ember.js projects) that would've been better off with vanilla JS and a collection of small JS libraries instead. I'm not going to name names, but they're out there. It's a tool that does get misused, like any other.

Recent releases of Ember actually reduced the output size (sometimes in the high double-digit percent) and Glimmer 2 improved rendering performance. Sometimes the needle moves back after work internal to the framework.

Yep. And to play devil's advocate for a moment, I've really been impressed with fastboot too. I think it's a great idea. Overall things are certainly heading in the right direction, but I just wish we hand't sunk so low from a performance and robustness (progressive enhancement) standpoint first.

yes, but there are plenty of projects that would not be better off with vanilla js

And there are also plenty that would be better without any js at all
