"I did autocomplete using a few carefully crafted lines of code"

Now take 10 developers to reuse that autocomplete in the same project in 10 different places. I bet those carefully crafted lines become 100 little monsters, one without eye other with 3 legs.

Not that they have to be stupid, it is just they think differently.

If they were really carefully crafted, then they likely can be carefully repackaged into a solution that could be included in those 10 different places with zero - or close to zero - runtime overhead on the code sharing mechanism.

But it takes actual thinking - and care - to do that. Something that seems to be in short supply with the current web trends.

Users don't care about development. Sure, for us frameworks are great, for them the trade offs look far worse.
