It's not exactly vanilla, but my favorite stack is still jQuery and Bootstrap. It's easy and fun to make things with.
Frameworks have advantages, but in a tiny team, separation of concerns is not a major problem. There's a bit of overhead in maintaining, debugging, and a large opportunity cost in learning. The whole "it's better to practice one kick a thousand times than practice a thousand kicks once".
In a sense, it feels much like drawing with an easy medium like pencil, instead of using oil. They're all good in their own way, but I like the raw feel of it, and it works just fine.
